Definition
paraphrase [Show phonetics]
verb [I or T]
to repeat something written or spoken using different words, often in a humorous form or in a simpler and shorter form that makes the original meaning clearer

Cambridge Online Dictionary

NOT somebody elses interpretation, which could result in a change in the meaning. A parphrase has same meaning as the original, just using different words.

What are you guys talking about, anyway?

A reminder of who we deal with: "It would be easier if I was a dictator." -George W. Bush - Chris Vancil - 10/17/2004 2:51:50 AM
- Again, the left can only hurt by misquoting him or lying, but to wreck Kerry, one has only to let him talk in his own words. (n/t) - ebnelson - 10/18/2004 6:38:17 PM
  - re: Hum...Bush has several times wish he was a dictator...where is the misquote, Ed? And like Bush does periodically put his foot in his own mouth. (n/t) - Chris Vancil - 10/18/2004 10:06:11 PM
    - Context, Chris. YOu quote someone out of context, or change what they say, and it comes out really different. (n/t) - ebnelson - 10/19/2004 6:20:38 PM
      - re: Right. But, it wasn't quoted out of context it was paraphrased. Bush really wishes he could be dictator. This is a bit like his "ranch" with you isn't it. (n/t) - Chris Vancil - 10/19/2004 9:06:15 PM

        Oh, that's right. You can't think. Sorry, I forgot. (n/t) - ebnelson - 10/19/2004 10:49:18 PM
        
        re: Next you'll be singing loud with your fingers in your ears. How mature. (n/t) - Chris Vancil - 10/20/2004 9:17:04 AM
        
        Yuo are the blithering idiot who can't tell the difference between 'rancher' and 'cowboy' (n/t) - ebnelson - 10/20/2004 5:07:12 PM
        
        re: Right Ed you go on believing any BS Bush hands you.. I have friends who are both cowboys and ranchers. BTW, you have something you herd if you have a ranch. (n/t) - Chris Vancil - 10/21/2004 9:34:33 AM
        
        Deep thought for Chris V: Rancher and cowboy are not exclusive, just seperate. - ebnelson - 10/21/2004 3:18:45 PM

  - re:Yes, Bush is a bit scary with the talk of him as dictator. Especially since he keeps saying he means what he says. (n/t) - Chris Vancil - 10/17/2004 10:52:01 PM
