A metaprime example is something that IS an example of itself in a self-referential way. Metaprime examples can be words themselves, or names, or names of things, or things themselves. Metaprime examples can be ideas or objects, abstract or literal, metalanguage or existential. They can be intentional or un. Sometimes they make you laugh, and usually they make you dizzy if you think about them too long!

Existential Metaprimes
Which brings us to another category. Metaprime examples aren’t just words. There is another category of metaprimes that are existential. Existential metaprime examples actually exist – as Richard Dickson, Jr., exists. These ironic examples of things are the things they exemplify. Look at these metaprime examples of Metaprime Examples. (I’m dizzy now, so I’m going to go lie down while you look at them.)
