Employment of Phrase, The
Ptychological Moment1 V . y y
A correspondent of the London
Times sternly scolds all who are so
slipshod in their speech as to employ
that most useful of phrases, "the psy-.
chological moment' says the Living
Age. Asserting that by no possible
distortion of the English language can
it legitmately be forced into its cur
rent meaning of "the proper, or fit
ting, moment," he proceeds to give
a history of the phrase which is vast
ly more interesting than his diatribe
against its users. ,

"They shall fnvite the high con

when the bombardment of Paris was
about to begin. The German writer
said: "The psychological momentum,
(das psychologische moment) must be
allowed to play a prominent part,
for without its co-operation there is
little to be' hoped from the work of
the artillery." Confusing the neuter
German word das moment (which
means '.'momentum' and, as here used,
a dynamic part of the human mind
urging it to action), with the mascu
line der moment (which means . mo
ment In its ordinary English sense)
the French translated it le moment
psychologique, and with derisive gay
ety. incorporated it into the slang of
the hour.
The French writer Franeisque Sar
cey, in his "Diary of the Siege of
Paris," tells how the beleaguered Pa
risians pluckily made game of their
enemy's phrase: T
"You know how we laugh over that
psychological moment The word
has become all the rage. . . Ev

chological moment for sitting down
to dinner has arrived. . . . When
the first ball fell in the streets of.
Paris, everybody cried laughingly,
Tiens ! They must think the psycho-
logical moment has arrived V "
The facts, are vouched for by the
new English dictionary, but for all the
lexicographers may say, "the psy
chological moment" is too firmly fixed
in the usage to be .withdrawn readily.
