Fourth World

Those ethnic groups which reside in the jurisdiction of recognized nations rather than having an independent state of their own. Fourth-world peoples are excluded from positions of power in those governments, and frequently have de facto if not de jure status as second-class citizens or worse.

The Palestinians, Kurds, and Roma are all examples of members of the Fourth World.

Emo grunt

The voiced, gutteral grunt made by someone (typically a preteen child) used to express indignation, or frustration.

Whenever Christie's 11-year-old daughter doesn't get her way, she immediately emo grunts and stomps her foot, as though that's gonna change Christie's decision one bit. Well, sometimes it does.

correctify

A portmanteau of correct and rectify.

To correctify something means to obsessively nitpick over details which in the pointy-headed purist's mind are so torturously annoying that he can't help but speak up about it. The significance of such details, however, is pure truthiness.

A behavior commonly associated with period nazis in the SCA and other medieval-recreation societies and LARPs.

Madus as they are used in the Amtgard LARP are hardly recognizable as "actual" madus, yet you'll often see players correctifying each other about what "real" madus should look like.
