This is standard stuff for any serious first year logic course, and may be based on a particular presenter's notes or on an assignment. AFAIK '''blardy''' is not a standard term, but the fascinating thing is I don't know ''any'' standard term. [[Heterologous]] has been used for '''antiblardy''', and [[autologous]] for '''blardy''' (by different lecturers in different universities, can't remember which). But don't get excited about the existence of an article on ''autologous'', it's not the same term! |

This content should be preserved, and deserves its own article IMO. If we can find a citable authority who uses '''blardy''' in this fashion, then adding a citation will make the article a keeper. Otherwise, if we can find an authority who uses a different term for the same concept, a rename is in order. Failing both of these... cross that bridge...

:Aha! The terms are [[autological]] and [[heterological]]. [[User:Andrewa|Andrewa]] 19:45, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC) |

::I'm pretty sure I've read of this, with the immediately understandable terms ''autological'' and ''heterological'' (or very similar), in an early work by Martin Gardner. If it wasn't something by Gardner, then it could well have been some other Pelican book of maths/logic conundrums published by the early seventies. -- [[User:Hoary|Hoary]] 02:55, 2005 Apr 25 (UTC) |

==Merge?== |
|||
This article is largely a restatement of [[Grelling-Nelson paradox]], using different vocabulary. Any objections to merging this one to that one? |

The [[Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/Blardy|discussion at Vfd]] seemed more inclined to merging than merely keeping as is. Oh, and Google records zero cases of ''blardy'' being used in this way when you exclude copies of this very article. Nor any for ''jeed''. |

:Yes, merge. "Blardy" is merely a little-used and perhaps whimsical synonym for ''autological'', which is used in [[Grelling-Nelson paradox]] and which gets a lot more than zero hits on Google even after subtraction of WP and its derivatives. -- [[User:Hoary|Hoary]] 03:49, July 12, 2005 (UTC) |
