Asia

1. A place that's so big that no matter how you define it, some other part of it is going to prove you wrong.

2. A band of the genre that composes classical music to a rock beat.

3. The first name of a cute 8-year-old girl in my neighborhood who would bust your jaws if she saw what some of you wrote about her name here.
I doubt that Asia has ever heard Asia. I know she's never been there.

skunk word

Any slang term used by bigoted or self-righteous people to negatively stereotype others. Even though the word may have its proper place in our language and a correct definition, its meaning in common usage is so subjective that it defies accurate definition.
An abortion is the medical and legal term for miscarriage. The introduction of intentional miscarriage brought about slang usage in which it means feticide, which is the medical and legal term for causing a fetus to abort, whether intentional or not.

A cult is the religious aspect of one's culture, thus the similarity between the words cult and culture. Bigoted name-calling insists that only "other people" join cults.

Democracy means rulership by the people, for the people, and all that that implies, such as free elections. The one nation that is most critical of what other nations try to pass off as Democracy can't even hold debates between its own presidential candidates without two of the four candidates trying to attend being arrested and charged with trespassing just for being there.

One person's truth is his opponent's propaganda, and vice versa.

Phobias are psychologically induced, irrational fears. In common usage, they are nothing more than something to accuse others of having when one wants to discount their opinions and be excused to behave in a way that they find repugnant.

If bigots only realized how bigoted they sound when they call other people bigots, probably no one would ever use the word.

The Ken Jennings Show

1. A game show otherwise known as Jeopardy, particularly since they no longer limit how many times the same contestant can appear on the show.

2. A steady source of income for the Mormon Church since Ken Jennings tithes 10% of his gross.
My wife is watching The Ken Jennings Show. I think she's waiting to see if the church and the state can tax Ken into poverty. Otherwise, there isn't much suspense.

cell phone

Cellular communication; how an amoeba communicates. You know; amoebae, like really, really small people.
Hey, lookit the cell phone under this microscope!

Of course it is! Can't you see that the one amoeba's phoning another one?

Of course his phone is cellular. What other kind would an amoeba have?

(If you're saying this out loud, it would be good to duck now and then, in case someone was going to hit you.)
