If you search for "addendum critique" in the personal statement forum (or probably this one) you should be able to find samples. People will be happy to help you edit yours if you post it, too.

Say as little as possible, explain what you learned, and how you've matured so it won't be a problem in the future. Put in as much detail as you think it needs and then cut it in half. They should be barebones.

Damn, you beat me to it. And no, that doesn't describe me. Everyone thought my old sn said that but it didn't...and I needed to anonymize for OCI season so I just changed it to that so people knew it was still me.Bronte wrote:I don't think that word means what you think it means. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=blowhard.89vision wrote:blow hard=bj reference? not explaining the dog bit. sorry, I have a bunch of guy friends..blowhard wrote:It's a play on my old screen name...people used to read it wrong so I just changed it.

That was for the other poster. I'd hope you recognize I'm not a blowhard without me telling you...Bronte wrote:I remember.

That's not what it means where I'm from. Listen to a rap song. Or just google blow hard with a sex term. I'm not really going to cite sources to those types of links. I mean, you've never heard a guy say "she blew me hard?" or the like.Bronte wrote:I don't think that word means what you think it means. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=blowhard.89vision wrote:blow hard=bj reference? not explaining the dog bit. sorry, I have a bunch of guy friends..blowhard wrote:It's a play on my old screen name...people used to read it wrong so I just changed it.

You realize blowhard is one word, and "blow/blew hard" is two right? There is also some contextual difference between a sn on a lawschool website and a rap song, or even inclusion of the word "she". I hear if you google banana and a sex term you get hits so obviously that's the only context of the word. Or the fact that blunt returns drug references means its only about drugs? Or pipe? Or smoke? Or facial? Or dog? Or pig?89vision wrote:

I'm willing to bet it means exactly the same thing where you're from.

I'm in awe of this entire conversation. Instead of admitting she was ignorant and naive regarding a word, she doubled down in trying to defend her asinine definition. On top of that, her understanding of basic English words is on the same level as Beavis's.blowhard wrote:You realize blowhard is one word, and "blow/blew hard" is two right?

During the fall of my sophomore year, I made three mistakes: blah 1, blah 2, blah 3. After blahs, I attended group meetings, attended online workshops and met with an individual counselor over the course of blah blah. Following these steps, I refocused on my academics and have not had any interactions that would raise any concerns relating to character and fitness to practice law.
Or something equally short and sweet, but hopefully more refined as I put that together in 30 seconds.

Rap songs are closer to the real world than this forum...and I'm from the affluent suburbs and going to school in a city. In both places, the term means something completely different.blowhard wrote:You realize blowhard is one word, and "blow/blew hard" is two right?

Definitions are socially constructed. Objectivity is a myth.
Also, did I say blowhard only references what I mentioned? No. You are making a straw man. I asked if the reference was based on what that term generally means when I hear the term. Please do not equate that with me stating that I thought the term only meant one thing. Why would I ask what the term meant if I thought it had only one definition? Jeeze, people on here love straw mans...

"Blow" is a verb sometimes meaning "to give oral sex," a meaning that it has everywhere in the country. "Blowhard" is a term that does not pertain to oral sex. Not in your affluent suburb or anywhere else. You got confused. Just give it up.89vision wrote:Rap songs are closer to the real world than this forum...and I'm from the affluent suburbs and going to school in a city.

I like how this thread bobs and weaves between being C&F-centric and making fun of 89. And btw, 89vision. I don't care if you're from the suburbs or the inner city or some random farming town. Blowhard has never meant what you think it means. It's like trying to argue that thumbtack is a thumb deformed into a point because you were able to break down the compound word into it's parts and justify it to yourself that it means that. Yes, words are socially constructed, but they're not individually constructed. There has to be some consensus that a word means x for it to mean x and you're the only crazy person that thinks blowhard is not somebody who boasts in an annoying fashion.

It means different things in different social groups. Maybe not the one you're from. I'm not saying it always means one thing, but it does within circles I have belonged to. I simply asked if that term meant what I thought it did, and explained that it means something different than the sn. You seriously can't deny that groups of people don't think bh means something other than what the persons sn is meant to state. I don't understand how you can say bh doesn't have multiple meanings. That's a horrid argument. You are, again, using a straw man. I don't know how many times I need to explain I never stated bh meant only what I thought it referenced. I only stated it had a different meaning to me based on my environment, associations, friends, cultural experience. I have never head bh used the way you guys have. Unlike you, I am not arguing it only means 1 thing. Stop using straw man arguments. Please.TommyK wrote:I like how this thread bobs and weaves between being C&F-centric and making fun of 89.
