Cool and, or useful things AppleMacintosh computers do that surprise you. They are usually actions that make sense, but that aren't often thought about after years of using the Windows operating system.
Devin discovered a macism today. In order to save a picture from a web page to his desktop, instead of right clicking on the image and selecting a menu option, he dragged it to his desktop and it worked!
Macism. The belief that Macs are better than PCs...all lies. As all of us computer nerds know, there has been a long-time battle between Microsoft (makers of the PC) and Apple (responsible for the Mac). And clearly Microsoft has the upper hand.
Prejudice and/or bad-talk against Macy's department store. Mockeries and slurs about Macy's. The adjective form of this word is "Macial." The noun form of the word to describe a person who hates Macy's is a "Macist."
That Macist Rebecca hates Macy's and spent a good deal of time mocking the store and exhibiting a great amount of Macism.
Acting excessively hyper-masculine, derived from the way that bull Elephants secrete a thick smelly liquid(or machismo) when they undergo "Musth" (or Elephant-anarchy) and berzerker-rage on anything that moves including other Elephants,Rhinos and Humans.
Meant to be used in a mocking context.
Person 1: Check out that guy with the Skoal wife-beater, puffin' his chest out and trying to look tough.
Person 2: Oozin' machismo.
Both People: WAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!1
Maoism is an adaptation of Marxist-Leninism. In Mao's case he adapted a theory that was originally developed within the context of a relatively advanced industrializing society, Europe of the 19th century, to a context of an almost purely aggricultural society--China of the early and mid 20th century.
Mao was a military genious, if not a political one, for his development of a protracted 'peoples war.' Whether you like him or not, and there is a lot not to like, his military theory was victorious and continues to be emulated today as well as studied by the students of West Point etc.
The Sandinista guerillas, though not self identified as Maoists, certainly practiced Maoism in their struggle against the Samoza regime in Nicaragua in the 1970s.
