Multiply-Ramifying. Well, lah-dee-dah.
So, apparently this word (phrase?) is common in academic texts, but after reading several different sources, I still have no idea how to use it in context. Por exemplo:
- As Ronald Martin has shown, further, the principle was the basis of a multiply-ramifying discourse on force……
- These multiply-ramifying glaze arteries are formed when free-floating wood ash ……..
- The basic strategy is utterly simple: reverse the causal sequences (often netlike and multiply-ramifying) that have brought a troubling situation . . . .
Utterly simple. I think it’s code for: “I’m smarter than you. We both know this. You’ll forget to even look this word up later. No matter, it doesn’t exist in the dictionary, you fool!”
Multiply: Increase. Ramifying: Branch. So, increase branching? Can’t wait till I have the opportunity to slip the ole ‘increase branching’ discourse into my review. Someone will owe me a dollar when I get that guy in the mix! Kind of like at my wedding when I bet our buddy he couldn’t work “Dalai Lama” and “Sherpa” into the Best Man speech. He did it. Seemlessly. I’m still amazed.
