downstrike's definitions
Any slang term used by bigoted or self-righteous people to negatively stereotype others. Even though the word may have its proper place in our language and a correct definition, its meaning in common usage is so subjective that it defies accurate definition.
An abortion is the medical and legal term for miscarriage. The introduction of intentional miscarriage brought about slang usage in which it means feticide, which is the medical and legal term for causing a fetus to abort, whether intentional or not.
A cult is the religious aspect of one's culture, thus the similarity between the words cult and culture. Bigoted name-calling insists that only "other people" join cults.
Democracy means rulership by the people, for the people, and all that that implies, such as free elections. The one nation that is most critical of what other nations try to pass off as Democracy can't even hold debates between its own presidential candidates without two of the four candidates trying to attend being arrested and charged with trespassing just for being there.
One person's truth is his opponent's propaganda, and vice versa.
Phobias are psychologically induced, irrational fears. In common usage, they are nothing more than something to accuse others of having when one wants to discount their opinions and be excused to behave in a way that they find repugnant.
If bigots only realized how bigoted they sound when they call other people bigots, probably no one would ever use the word.

Kneejerk Corruptions, Incorrigible will do anything they can to prevent the owner of a domain from transferring it to another registrar. They did it best when they were also the register with which all the other registrars had to register domains.

Get the invisibilitymug. A symptom of bigotry in which a bigot insists that the spelling, grammar, or pronunciation of other languages, cultures, or subcultures are inferior, or simply wrong.
Some linguistically intolerant Jews and Muslims, such as the late Sheikh Ahmed Deedat complain about what they call, the J Sickness, in which most European languages substitute the letter J for the letter Y when transliterating names from ancient texts, such as:
Joel for Yael
Judah for Yehuda
Joshua for Yeheshua
Joseph for Yusuf
Jonah for Yunus
Jesus for Yesus or Yeshua
Jehovah for Yehowa or Yahweh
Since J is the letter used to produce the Y sound in most European languages, this complaint is an example of petty linguistic intolerance. Sheikh Deedat also rather amusingly blamed the "J" sickness on Jehovah's Witnesses, as if they, in the 20th century had had the power to change the way Europeans spelled names in medieval times, so it's difficult to determine whether his bigotry was against Christians in general, Jehovah's Witnesses, or Europeans.
