what is a concete

[luckyeight]

I think it's a 'conceit' - an idea around which something is arranged.

[Clanad]

I can't quite figure out which letter you've omitted. If it's "r" for concrete, then that is an amalgam of cement, sand, gravel and water used in construction. It can also apply to substantial, non-moveable ideas and concepts. If it's "i" (more likely in this categorey), then conceit is self-aggrandizement .. i.e., pride, but to such a degree that it is offensive and arrogant... Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French, from conceivre.

Examples of your word concete, found in various sources are obvious mispellings...

In poetic terms - as per the title - a conceit is a fanciful or imaginative idea, sometimes even a far-fetched one. A poem about the north wind, for example, might treat it as a fierce monster which enjoys ravaging the countryside and tearing things apart.

"Concrete clamantis in deserto"

Of course Charlie2006 is right, there is Concrete Poetry, and for a description see here

There is also a Concrete Song:

Oh! Concrete is the life of man
Concrete! Johnnie!
I'll have Concrete when I can
Oh! Concrete for my Johnnie!

T'was Concrete made me pawn my clothes
Concrete! Johnnie!
Concrete got me broken toes
Oh! Concrete for my Johnnie!

Concrete drove my mother mad
Concrete! Johnnie!
Concrete nearly killed my Dad
Oh! Concrete for my Johnnie!

and so on.

Charlie asked: "What is a concete?" So, whilst the last word is clearly a mis-spelling, it is equally clearly a noun not an adjective.

[MustafaTickl]

Ah well. As your mother prophesied for you Quizzie:

O you will leave the springs of Calvin
For gumlie dubs of your ain delvin !
Ye son of Heresy and Error
Ye'll some day squeal in quaking terror
Whilst the English cause pale Concrete groans
And mix her up with deepening tones
And louder shrieks, and heavier moans.

Nice try, Must, but I prefer Rabbie's version!
