Dainism 

Dainism is a group made for Dainsleif out of love by four mentally ill children.

Basically, this man (Dainsleif), has gone through a tragic past and after being cursed with immortality, 500 years later this man met a traveler (us) and he kept trauma dumping on us.

Dainism can be defined as:
1: “I’m going to marry Dainsleif.”

2: “Invite me to the wedding.”

1: “Dainsleif keeps trauma dumping, it’s so sad and funny I’m crying instead of him”

2: “I know, I’ve heard about a theory that said Dainsleif didn’t actually lie about ‘Khaenri’ah still living because he’s alive’ and I cried the entire time.”

Darwinism

First used by Thomas Henry Huxley in a review of Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species in the April 1860 issue of Westminster Review, it has since become a term used by creationists to poison the well when discussing (attempting to discredit) the theory of evolution. By adding the -ism, they imply a system of beliefs or an ideology, hypocritically equating Darwinism to any other crackpot idea.

Calling someone a "Darwinist" or "evolutionist" is about as ridiculous as calling someone who accepts the fact of gravity a "gravitationalist," or someone who believes the earth is spherical a "sphericist."

Darwinism is wrongly thought by many fundamentalists to be the "religion" of atheists. It's true that most atheists accept Darwin's theory, but that fact is irrelevant to their nonbelief in a deity. They simply see no reason to reject something that's obviously true (i.e., it doesn't contradict some other belief that they refuse to give up).

Darwinism isn't a belief system or an ideology. A person who accepts Darwin's theory (after 150+ years and mountains of evidence in its favor) is merely non-delusional.

Digital darwinism 

The effect of people either falling behind in school or getting killed by texting or using their digital devices instead of paying attention to the world around them.

Digital Darwinism is when a driver runs off the road because they were texting.
Digital Darwinism is when a student fails a test because they weren't paying attention in class, using their phone instead.

darwinism

A buzzword that creationists use to refer to the theory of evolution. They use this word to try to equate the theory of evolution with ideologies like communism and fascism.

Such a tactic is dishonest. The theory of evolution is not an ideology. Ideologies are PROSCRIPTIVE--they make value judgments and say what should and shouldn't be done. The theory of evolution, like all other scientific theories like gravity, relativity, etc., is DESCRIPTIVE--it describes and explains facts. Such theories are testable by analyzing them to see what the predictions that they make, and then seeing if those predictions match the facts.

For example, applying the theory of relativity predicts where the stars will be. We look at our hubble telescope and see that lo and behold, the stars are indeed where the theory predicts them to be!

The theory of evolution predicts that the evidence will show that humans and chimpanzees are closely related. We look at human chromosome 2, and see that it's virtually totally analagous to two chimp chromosomes, and lo and behold, human chromosome 2 has a fusion site with telomeres in the middle of the chromosome! (Imagine taking the 2 chimp chromosomes and "scotch-taping" them together--that's what human chromosome 2 looks like).

darwinism is an example of a stupid and dishonest creationist buzzword.

Collegiate Darwinism 

A theory posed by a Penn State student, contending that "survival of the fittest" applies to the social life of college students.

Collegiate Darwinism: 3-5 friends go on a road trip to a college where they have no friends. Everyone must find a bed. House parties, bars & late night pizza joints are recommended places to find a bedmate. As the night progresses, friends will see that the strongest survive, no matter what it takes. Those that sleep with fat chicks or ugly guys (girls is pimps too) should be congradulated for finding a bed, not admonished for lowering any standards. Meet up at a diner the next morning to tell your stories. Compare strategies, learn from your mistakes, and go to a different school and try it again.
