look up any word:

2. don't cotton to
Southern United States slang phrase meaning do not like, agree with or mistrust. As in 'those two boxers don't cotton each other.
"don't cotton to politics"
3. affirmative action
a perfect manefestation of affirmative action is the disproportion of racial demographic within a blog community, esp. in this thread. the defi of this affirmative action has been whitewashed, since there are not enough voices from other ethnicities, which is why I need to join in this thread to balance out the concencus before yet another term is twisted. now is my action affirmative enough? you might be shaking your head in mistrust, since my action might belittle your shadowy superiority. and we all know that is not very conducive for your historically previliged status, init? speaking of why previliged, why I say proportion of ethnicities on this blog is biased toward whities. think about this you have more PCs and internet access than other, coz your dad gets a better job, and why your dad got better gig, coz he got better edu, coz his pa has got better job. previlige is not superiority! just another form of cheating. now I guess that on another level explain some kids from other backgounds might have lower GPA. coz their dad,...... and their granddad..... and it seems some of inferior kids who 'get into the backdoor' exhibits great capacity and momentum. re someone's remark about Hardy-Weinburg Equilibrium. do u know a concept called genetic drift, which indicates the disavantaged minority gene might go extinct, not because of that gene is not desirable, rather bacause of the inbreed within majority. clandesitination is detrimental for positive evolution of a popula...

4. paragnosis
suspicion and mistrust of people or their actions that is well grounded in reality; a condition that resembles paranoia or a similar delusional state.

5. Gossip Goblin
A person who is incapable of having the slightest semblance of an intellectual conversation and instead habitually talks and/or lies about other people's personal lives to the point of mistrust and annoyance.
Person 1: What is wrong with April that all she can talk about is other people's lives, I think she makes shit up just to feel better about herself.

Person 2: Since her life is so boring she has to be a gossip goblin, so she spends all of her time trolling on facebook trying to ruin other people's lives or just so she can have something to talk about.

Person 1: She should read a book....
6. The Hacker Ethic
Hacker code of morality that was originally formed by the MIT hackers in the late 1950s to the late 1960s and articulated by Steven Levy in his book HACKERS: HEROES OF THE COMPUTER REVOLUTION. The creed is as follows:

1)Always yield the Hands-On Imperative! Access to computers-- and andything else which might teach you about the way the world works-- should be unlimited and total.
2) All information should be free.
3) Mistrust Authority-- Promote Decentralization.
4) Hackers should be judged by their hacking, not bogus criteria such as degrees, age, race, or position.
5) You can create art and beauty on a computer.
6) Computers can change your life for the better.
While many of the 1960s hackers claim that modern hackers have rejected this code, it has actually strongly influenced all hackers for the last thirty years.

7. Optimism
"Optimism is the opium of the masses.
Pessimism is the pesticide of society." - Ken Muslimvoic
I guess he meant that hope gives the masses fake illusions in the way things are.. and negative pessimism and mistrust in society weeds out "social agitators" and keeps them from doing anything.
