When Sam uses the word 'abnatural' to describe a particularly nasty demon, Dean gives him a look and asks what it means.
"It means 'a violation of nature'."
"So it's the same as 'supernatural'."
"No, that's just 'beyond nature'."
"Any other unnatural words you know?"
"Funny. Uh, 'preternatural' is based in nature but surpassing it. And 'supranatural' (that's supra-, not super-) is 'transcending nature'."
"What about 'paranormal'?"
"That's phenomena that people think there's a natural explanation for, and science just hasn't figured it out yet."
"Is there a word for the kind of freak that you are, little brother?"
"Educated."
