Downstrike's definitions

constituency

In the language of politicians and those who govern, the constituency are those who are governed, or supposedly represented, by legislators and executive officials.

Legislators really represent attorneys. See politician, legislator, attorney, and conflict of interest for further details.

In a true Democracy, the constituency would be self-governing. However, that might endanger the livelihood of legislators and politicians, so it isn't done that way.

sexual preference

One's preference for a particular type of sexual partner, regardless whether that preference is rigidly or casually held, and regardless how morally repugnant others may find that preference.

heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, and pedosexual are all sexual preferences. Pedosexual propaganda uses pedophile as a euphemism in place of pedosexual to make it seem like it isn't all that bad.

Puhonix

Stereotypically duh-weebish way of pronouncing Phoenix, as presented by a commercial that targets duh-weebs.

Flagstaff?!? Ha ha ha ha ha...

default

That which occurs when one does not make a choice. N00bs usually think it's supposed to be that way because no one bothered to tell them they had a choice.
