Philosophy is meta-thought

It's so simple I almost came in my pants when I had this revelation. If anyone ever asks you to define philosophy, just say "philosophy is the meta of thought". This is the clearest, simplest and most apt definition of philosophy there could ever be.

Language is the prison of thought. One's thoughts cannot escape the bounds of language. That which you have no words for cannot be thought about. Philosophy is the apologist. It knows thought is cruelly imprisoned by language but it claims that it does not matter. That anything beyond language is worthless, so you should welcome the prison and see it not as a prison but as a whole world.
