Why’d you say that? I’d say:
grab the keyboard, type the word and see the meaning!
Who the f is Maynard Keenan?
the OP: You have a point here.</p>

<p>anyway it means, experienced through someone else</p>

17

<p>ok lets give you an example:</p>

<p>“read about mountain climbing and felt vicarious excitement”</p>

<p>An example of vicarious would be:</p>

<p>“The father sat on the bleachers excited that his son was succeeding at baseball, because he never did, but now the father can vicariously succeed at baseball through his son.”</p>
