not really either--tardis

[ajmmac]

couldn't think where else to put this--more or less everyone knows what we mean by tardis as in "the house was tardis like"--we get an immediate picture without any further information--one coild say "the house was...(any of -spacious, volumonous etc etc)"--no single word other than tardis encompasses the concept of bigger in the inside than it appears on the outside--anyone think of similar words--a single word that so defines a complex concept that no further information is necessary?

Not a single word, but two words. As the good Doctor explains, such objects are ''Dimensionally transcendental''.

(This effect occurs visually in pottery making, where a finished cup or bowl can appear to look bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside. It's seen as a desirable quality and evidence of good design. It's been known about for many hundreds of years, but I don't know of anyone giving a name to the effect) .

Surely every word describes something so no further information is required? For example I say "square" instead of "4 sided shape with equal lengths".

I quite like 'SNOWBOUND', but I doubt it is complex enough to count.....
