In fact, its not that hard to get. If you "google" it, you will probably find:
- a few shops, associations or organizations with that name (most of them, designers, producers and sellers of certain articles, such as furniture, jewlery and the list goes on)
- the wikipedia website has its own version of the word; Paraphernalia is a term of art from older law, in which the use of this reffers to the belognies of a married woman and how the management of her property should be done only by her or under her consent. My guess is that the greeks invented the word when a "so called" divorce of those days would have get in the way (im not even sure if divorce existed in that time, correct me if im wrong please)
- something called: drug paraphernalia; which basically reffers to legal tools people use for making, using, or concealing illegal drugs. It would be illegal to possess, sell, transport, import, or export this particular equipment, if the purpose of its use is dubious. (veeeeeeeeeeeery interesting)
and,
- dictonary definitions; personal belongings, accessory items or articles of equipment (GOOO Merriam-Webster!!!)
To me, they all reffer to the same: belognings, articles, items, tools... *stuff*. But it is more than that. Its a whole new concept. Once again, my perception was limited. I had on my mind only one definition and now i ended up with a different view of a word, that for me it was *funny* to pronounce and its meaning is quite *awesome* for a complicated word like that one (*stuff*).
Such is life... we have to look beyond the horizon and to think outside the box.
And, that is what this is all about... *my noisy paraphernalia* that you might like to read (you might not). Enjoy.
