jonathan_mcgraw Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Hi All Some years ago I read a term used in a photo forum site. I think it was Photo.net. I liked the term very much, but I can't remember it. It was from the field of aviation & it meant for two functions to be mutually exclusive. It was, IIRC, more succinct than the words “mutually exclusive”. If someone knows the word I'm looking for, I would be very appreciative, Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonathan_mcgraw Posted October 3, 2019 Author Share Posted October 3, 2019 Thank you n-j I'm familiar w/ oxymoron. Although it fits as an answer to my question, it would not have stuck in my head as a question.
