After reading that wikipedia article, I still don’t understand how the term “exquisite corpse” came about. Although at least I finally know what that evocative term refers to. (“Extension” figured out, but “intension” still left blank.)
I actually don’t know the etymology of the term either. But Andrei Coorescu, one of my favorite NPR commentators, and a Baton Rouque based poet, runs the Exquisite Corpse website… you can check it out at http://www.corpse.org/.
