The tent you are looking for is "self-referential".
Is the word "non-self-referential"
self-referential?
Is it non-self-referential?
> shibboleth" works perfectly well as a shibboleth
You know why that is, right? The concept is named after the use of the word.

It's an admittedly fuzzy/arbitrary category that I made up. :) > Is it non-self-referential? Haha, nice. I also like "non-descript". > The concept is named after the use of the word. Cool, TIL :)
