Mentalist Denotation

Interesting quotation and definition:

"The two most beautiful words in the English language are:
check enclosed."

Dorothy Parker

"Mentalist, noun. Someone who uses mental acuity, hypnosis and/or suggestion. A master manipulator of thoughts and behavior."
This is from the TV show, The Mentalist, not from any dictionary. The denotation is slightly different, but less dramatic.

The denotation is the official meaning of a word, the written meaning.

GAD ZOOKS!! Mentalist is not in my pocket dictionary!
