  Old  Random Question...

Taking a break from work for a moment to ask everyone a quick random question.

Whats the first thing you think of when you here the phrase:

'Solitary Refinement'

Also, does it sound pleasant, or unpleasant to you?

Just wondering, thinking of using it for something, and yes it's suppose to sound close to Solitary Confinement - it's kind of a play on words... I guess I'll explain more after I hear some replies.

Thanks,
Mike

EDIT

Ok, same idea, and evertying - but add this image to your thoughts... What do you think of now?

Being alone in prison. :P

Also, an asylum.

I think of self discipline, being able to refine yourself, in both your ways and beliefs without the extra helping hand.

It sounds unpleasant to me, just because the word "solitary" is so strong.

It sounds unpleasant to me also, just because of the association and connection of solitary confinement...that phrase is so well known and used that it could bring some back fire to your project.

Honestly, the first thing I thought of was that this idiot got Confine/Refine mixed up. After I continued reading I thought more of an artsy site, and for some reason a Mos-Def like character came to mind.
