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.
