Hearsing...?
Mon, 16 June 2003, 09:29 amIn my recent conversation with Tomas, I equated "the process" as being what we call "rehearsal"... and now I want someone to explain this word 'rehearse'..?
I understand the "re" prefix, as in we repeat things and re-do them and revise them....but what is it we're re-doing? Is the initial walk through of a play called a 'hearse'?
Is that anything to do with 'corpsing'?
....spiralling down my own rabbit hole of this crazy language we try to communicate in...

Hearsing...and corpsing

you mentioned 'corpsing' and i couldn't tell if you knew what it meant? but even if you did i was very excited about contributing to the conversation so i want to explain my understanding of 'corpsing' (something I am quite well rehearsed at...) for anyone who was unsure.
well, there was this play where an actor had to lie on the stage as a 'corpse' and she/he started laughing! and thus we have 'corpsing', the actor's tendency to laugh at a totally inappropriate moment (which = me!).
