That's exactly what I was just going to write :) "tease the"

Comment by Clay Frazier on November 16, 2009 at 13:45

1 a : to disentangle and lay parallel by combing or carding b : teasel
2 : to tear in pieces; especially : to shred (a tissue or specimen) for microscopic examination

Is that what they're saying?

Clay
Could the attorney be asking the doctor to "tease" information from the report?

In my depo they said a word a few times that I have a feeling is easy but that I'm unfamiliar with.
The doctor is looking at a report and the attorney is asking him to "teathe" information out of it.
How do you spell it?

Hi, Melia,
He clearly says "stilt" I'm wondering if he meant "staid." Of course it is a videotape depo. I think I'm just going to end up using (sic) on this one. I just thought maybe there was a meaning for "stilt" or some word close to it I wasn't aware of.
Thanks for your input.

I was wondering whether it might have been "stilted." That would fit better than "stilt" in that context IMO.

Pondering, pondering. Using the context of the answer, do you think the doctor might have MEANT a word like "stale" or "stiff" or "stock" ???? And maybe it just sounds like "stilt" over the audio? Is this an opportunity to use (sic) ??

Those adjectives he used to describe Ruth are somewhat cliched, stereotypical, common, and even trite! Although, in the doctor's defense, they ARE positive! Hope it becomes more clear to you!

Hi, I am looking for a word. This Doctor said "not to use a "STILT" term

STILT is what I'm trying to track down.

Here is the portion of the transcript to give you context.


Q. Okay. You indicated briefly that you -- you liked Ruth Baldwin and you had kind of fond recollections. Could you talk a little bit about the kind of person Ruth Baldwin was.
A. Very pleasant lady. Not to use a -- a stilt term, very sweet, pleasant, upbeat.

Thanks for any help you all can give me.

Wendy, I found McCarl (I think this person was the author of a 1985 study - you can double-check on google), and I also found Garlock, also found on google. I think they are two separate studies, but both were related to 1985.
