helping you remember SAT definitions... the dirty way

juxtapose

             juxtapose (v.) – to place close together, especially to compare

for your edification:  When you compare two or more things to see which you prefer, it really helps to look at them side by side so your brain can easily select which one blows the most (or blows the least, as the case may be).  When placing things close together especially to compare, it really helps if you say aloud, “Juxt suppose I picked that one,” because, if you are supposing you have chosen one instead of the other, then it’s a lot easier to make a decision. In summation:   juxtapose sounds a lot like “juxt suppose” which is the same thing as “just suppose” and that should make you think of how you are supposing you made a selection amongst some things you have placed together for the sake of comparison.  Could not be easier, huh?

Examplification- Skinny Jim:  I can’t decide if I should ask Marjorie or Mean Wanda to the winter quasi-formal. 

Carl:  Juxt suppose you could juxtapose them side by side to compare the pros and cons of each.  Which one would it be?

Skinny Jim:  Well, Marjorie’s a lot nicer and way hotter than Mean Wanda, but Mean Wanda has that huge rack and always puts out.

Carl:  Tough call.  You do always say jugs are better than hugs.

Skinny Jim:  Mean Wanda it is.
