Slang "Ismist," also see Rhythmismer
1. Subspecies of the NYC club life including individuals who self-identify their social, musical and venue orientation though membership to Rhythmism and association with other Ismists, as well as those whose regular participation on Rhythmism or attendance at Ismist events causes others to identify them as primarily connected to the nightlife scene through this particular web portal. 2. Anyone who begins an introduction with “My name is X on the board” or inquires as to other’s “screennames” when out at a drinking or dancing establishment. Those Rhythmismists are such elitist snobs! Just because Hector plays at their private parties, they think they own this place.
The line for the bathroom at ismist events tends to be extremely slow. |

Belief that the doctrines put forth by ALL ism's (e.g. racism, atheism, hedonism) are all the same and true, and, while being individually different from each other, are all false. Your totally indifferent attitude towards my wounds is a flagrant act of ismism!

| 5. | ismism | ||
|
n. The condition which stems from the attribution of an "-ism" to every concept. Ismism is commonly seen in academia, where terms such as realism, impressionism, romanticism, formalism, libertarianism, anarchism, naturalism, modernism, postmodernism, etc. are incessantly created and applied to every new situation. Ismists are too focused on labeling everything to appreciate anything. Etymology: English suffix -ism, referring to the doctrine or common set of characteristics associated with the root, applied to itself. Our professor wouldn't stop talking about the vague distinction between realism and naturalism. She must be an ismist.
Academia today is rampant with ismism, with too many isms to count. |

1) a school of thought which runs contrary to ismism.
2) a school of thought which runs contrary to the school of thought that schools of thought need labels. Note: Implicit in anismism is a self-referential recursive paradox, however anismists don't think in absolutes and don't dwell on irresolvable paradox so it isn't really a problem. Also: anismist - a subscriber to the idea of anismism anistist - one who is against people who are for things. Possible abbreviated forms: anism, anist 1) Spiritualism and Atheism are both equally irritating for much of the same reasons. Both are philosophical masturbation with no other practical purpose, thus I instead subscribe to anismism.
2) I find anyone who rigidly defines themselves by a philosophy which contains unprovable assumptions irritating. I am an anistist. 3) It would be an anist's wet dream dip Richard Dawkins and Bruce Chapman in a vat of personal lubricant and then lock them both in the same room. |
