Review: Hunch

Premonition is a fine word in itself. It has a seriousness to it and is anchored in the middle by a long o sound. The ending of -ition makes me feel like I'm using a big word as the suffix pre- breeds some familiarity to the person being spoken too. BAM! Broke down that word. But this is not a review of the word 'premonition', its of its fat little brother 'hunch'. Very biting. At the the end of the word hunch my teeth are touching each other in a visceral manner. Hunch is likely the school yard equivalent of premonition, in that it is easier and fun to say for children mainly due its monosyllabic nature making it easier to yell. Hunch would also be the nickname of the nerdy friend in a schoolyard movie. They would call him Hunch because he would be the level headed one whose advice they would listen to because all his 'hunches' were always right, and they wouldn't consider his commitment to academics. And why would they, they are kids after all. Now I have premonitions, and I get hunches. This started happening around 2001 shortly during the 9/11 attacks. Premonitions seem more informed and logical, while a hunch is more from the gut and banks of the creative flow. The only reason I said that, because that is entirely untrue, is to project feelings onto words based on their usage in pop culture/everyday life. In all honesty, a rapper would be better served to use the word hunch in his rhyme because it is an easier fit within cadence, unless he's gifted at it- then he could do whatever he wants. So what this review is boiling down to: I have a hunch that you don't use the word hunch that munch. Just going off a hunch here. Could be wrong, but we don't know each other that well.
