My granfalloon is anyone who knows the meaning of granfalloon.

I love these sorts of "conceptual onomatopoeias" :)
- "word"
- every Audible book begins with: "this is audible"
- "shibboleth" works perfectly well as a shibboleth
The tent you are looking for is "self-referential".
Is the word "non-self-referential"
self-referential?
Is it non-self-referential?
> shibboleth" works perfectly well as a shibboleth
You know why that is, right? The concept is named after the use of the word.
The category I'm thinking of is a subset of self-referential; a concept which is encapsulated in its expression, where it is an example of itself: "This is a sentence" or "is sentence fragment" or `<html>`. It's an admittedly fuzzy/arbitrary category that I made up. :)
> Is it non-self-referential?
Haha, nice. I also like "non-descript".
> The concept is named after the use of the word.
Cool, TIL :)

No, that is actually a perfectly reasonable karass.
