There's a word for it?

perendinate

PRONUNCIATION:

(puh-REN-di-nayt) 

MEANING:

verb tr. : To put off until the day after tomorrow.
verb intr.: To stay at a college for an extended time.

ETYMOLOGY:

From Latin perendinare (to defer until the day after tomorrow), from perendie (on the day after tomorrow), from dies (day).

NOTES:

The word procrastinate is from Latin cras (tomorrow). So when you procrastinate, literally speaking, you are putting something off till tomorrow. Mark Twain once said, "Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow." In other words, why procrastinate when you can perendinate?

Apology About the Comment I made in Class

Dear All,

Yesterday in class while speaking about the structure of the treatment of documentary subject before the camera and as an audience, I spoke about my experience within which I used a phrase, that I felt as inappropriate toward women even though I was reflecting my outrage toward the politics of female representation. I felt that in its new context, my phrase became generalized, abstracted, and rudimentary. My initial comment was a response to a documentary film, therefore, supported by textual example seen by the group. I felt that the paper presented on the documentary film shot in Yemen was solely concerned with the city as frozen in the past. I protested the decision that the presenter made to celebrate the film as a marketing promotion for the nation of Yemen while totally ignoring problematics of the representation of women living in it. In any case, please accept my apology for the poor choice of word.

Best.
