incar

noun

1. A car completely inside of a garage, or the portion of a car that is inside a garage.

   “This is not to deny that we might initially be sceptical of the existence of objects like the outcars and incars entertained by Eli Hirsch, objects that grow and shrink as a car leaves its garage. But we don’t think it ridiculous that there are objects that grow and shrink as large rocks move underwater […] It seems clear that none but the most insular metaphysician should countenance islands while repudiating incars.”

   “For example, incars are things ordinary folks have never dreamed of.”

   “It is natural to claim that there are no such things as incars and outcars. We cannot just stipulate such things as incars and outcars into existence.”

   “A thinks that werewolves exist; B doesn’t; A thinks incars and outcars exist, but not cars; B thinks vice versa; A thinks ordinary objects exist, but not mereological sums of them; B thinks both exist.”

   “These reflections help us with some other purportedly absurd objects that Eklund mentions in order to embarrass the neo-Fregean, such as incars and xhearts/xlivers.”
