[edit] girl, interrupted
The meaning of this word is discussed in the book/movie Girl, Interrupted. Is this cultural reference worth adding?Fishystick 15:58, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

- No. Cumulus Clouds (talk) 23:54, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
Also in Threesome (film), but I wouldn't suggest its inclusion here, either. Llamabr (talk) 18:43, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
Basically, use t5his word on any essay for any subject. Especially use this word on your SAT. It is like the ultimate blanket vocab word that will help you cover so much ground while being as generic as possible. Never before could you say nothing insightful at all and get away with it so easily. in existance today this word will cause the end of civilization and monkies will again reclaim this surface world. And then the ocean. AND THEN THE UNIVERSE. MUHAHAHA
[edit] Remove content
Half or more of this article (that is anything that isn't relevant to psychoanalysis), should be moved to the wiktionary, per: WP:NOTDICTIONARY Shahar Goldin (talk) 23:04, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
- I disagree. The coverage is not just giving a dictionary definition, and keep in mind that the concept of ambivalence is used in other areas of psychology besides psychoanalysis. --Jcbutler (talk) 14:50, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Ambivalent vs Indifferent
"It is common to use the word "ambivalent" to describe a lack of feelings one way or the other towards issues or circumstances. A more specific and conventionally accepted word to use in this case, however, would be "indifferent". I hardly think that this section properly relays the fact that 'indifference' is an incorrect usage of the word; I also would argue that it is not a conventionally accepted misuse. Perhaps: "A frequent misuse of "ambivalent" is as a substitution for "indifferent" to describe a lack of feelings one way or the other towards issues or circumstances." fauxcouture<T> 22:26, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
