Word Court

The fictitious court of law where words go on trial.
A or the, place called NOWHERE exists not.”
“Thank you, Mr. Prosecutor. Mr. Defense Attorney, please state your case.”
Your honor, though a place called NOWHERE does not exist; the word NOWHERE offends no one, and society needs the word NOWHERE. Also, the word NOWHERE deserves to continue being used because it lets people designate the only NONPLACE, and it lets people appreciate more places that exist.”
“Hum. Good point Mr. Defense Attorney. Can you please give this court some examples of how people use the word NOWHERE?
“I can your honor. People use it in expressions such as, "Going NOWHERE", and, "Going NOWHERE fast", or when asked, "Where are you going?” they might reply, "NOWHERE”. The word NOWHERE also counterbalances the word SOMEWHERE—which is a word related to the words NON-VIOLENT, NON-SMOKER, NON-PERSON and approximately 200-words which start with the prefix NON, followed by a dash."
“Mr. Jury Foreman, does the jury have any comment on the word NOWHERE?
“No, it does not, Your Honor.”
“Starting today, Word Court will be accepting suggestions from the public on the use of the word NOWHERE, and will declare a verdict on its use 90-days from today. Case closed.”
Judge U.R. Wordy hits the gavel once.

Covert Intent Word

One or more words which state something other than—or the opposite of—what the words which have no covert ulterior motive express in a message.
One example of a Covert Intent Word is, “The Test Administrators will do their best to make your testing experience as smooth and stress free as possible.” The word “stress” reminds the test takers that there is such a thing as "stress." And makes anyone who is exposed to that word feel some level of stress—if only by remembering what stress is to grasp what the writer is saying.

Lifestyle Acuity

The degree to which individuals are able to live their life the way they choose to. To work at what they love to do, to be in a relationship with or married to the man or woman they want to be married to, to live where and how they want to live, etc.
After relocating to another state in the nation, working hard to achieve a higher mental and physical state and doing so, Charlie has been able to raise his Lifestyle Acuity far more and faster than he imagined. The only thing he has not found is an acceptable female companion, but he is optimistic and patient.

skinism

The cognitive-biased-based belief that those who were born with lighter colored skin are superior in every way.
Skin is a characteristic of a person's race, and a key component of racism. However, skin is only each human being's surface. Character is more important. The successes of astounding musicians and athletes invalidate skinism.

easyfication

Though almost everyone mistakenly believes that learning to write is as difficult as learning to play a musical instrument, inspired by Frederick Taylor's Scientific Management principles, Richard Casey and Charles Cox began its easyfication in a social media group and where volunteers teach students the "one best way" to learn to give a writing a title, write an introductory clause, add a comma, add a semicolon, and perform the other 555 writing techniques he has systematized.

parallel message

Another message individuals express by means of the tonality, volume, pitch, or pacing they use while expressing the main message. It can support, compliment, refute, deny, or even contradict the main message.
When the girl said, "You're welcome" in a tone which said, "You're not fucking welcomed you fucking idiot," I knew something was up. To understand parallel messages say any word in the opposite intonation of what it means. Say "beautiful" while making a face of disgust. Say "ugly" as if you were saying "beautiful."
