This is a setup for someone to ponder if the word "nonautological" is an autological word or not.

It is a one word encapsulation of the same paradox created by the phrase "this sentence is false."

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
