I first heard this word this past weekend from my friend Steve. He is [truly] the smartest person I know and is very knowledgeable about all things literary. We were talking about the next "Sex and the City" movie and what some of the speculation was about story-lines. It came up that a rumored story line involved them doing a movie, in the movie, based on Carrie's book. The conversation was more in depth than that, but in the end, Steve said something along the lines of, "Oooh. Very metafictional." I had to ask him, "What is that?! Is that a real word?" Now I know!
2. "Touched"
adj.
- Emotionally affected; moved: very touched by the stranger's kindness.
- Somewhat demented or mentally unbalanced.
In reference to definition #2. I had never heard that word used to describe someone who might not be "all there". I tried to find the origin of it, speculating that it might have something to do with being "touched" by the devil (or something along those lines). I couldn't find anything.
