'Outpost', but With an 'I'
« on: September 13, 2011, 07:03:32 pm »

So, Bay12, I am in the process of writing something, and for my purposes, I need a synonym for 'Outpost' that starts with an 'I'. However, dictionary.com in thesaurus mode, and then all of Google, failed to give up something I can work with.

Can any of you guys come up with something?

You'd probably have to settle with something a bit different.  I feel like "installation" could work in some contexts (like if you could later describe how this installation has outpost-like properties) but I dunno if that would work there.

... Inpost? Or are you looking for synonyms?

I'll check my thesaurus for you later, but I doubt I'll find anything.

Make up a word. Pronounce it, hear if it sounds reasonable. If not, repeat.

Actually... Installation could work.

A lot better than 'Ivilization' or 'Isatblishment' which is the best I could come up with.

Installation was my first synonym, too. If the context lets it work, go for it.

Institution?

I'm guessing you need it for an acronym?

Maybe it's parasitic. It never loses its flavor because you eventually die from having your nutrients stolen by it.

And no upgrading or expanding it! Just buy another slightly larger one for full price and struggle to sell your old one for 1/3 of the purchase price!
