Rowleyism
A phrase created by writer Douglas Murray on Metropolitan Police’s former assistant commissioner Mark Rowley, indicating a false equivalency that serves a dishonest political purpose. To quote Mr Murray:
"Mark Rowley embedded the idea that the UK faces an equally balanced challenge: Islamist extremism on the one side, far-right extremism on the other. In order to sustain this equation it appears that for the time-being one must draw a moral equivalence between Muslims who blow things up and non-Muslims who do not, but have mean views. And an equivalence between Muslims who call for murder and non-Muslims who do not. "
Rowleyism is giving equal or similar weight to both or using one to decontextualise the other

To say that you are more concerned about right-wing nuts than Islamists is a dangerous example of Rowleyism.
Rowena
A stunningly beautiful woman who is intelligent, competent and who, without intent, intimidates the hell out of most people. She is confident, has high standards but keeps her expectations reasonable. She chooses her path in life, turns obstacles into challenges and then meets the challenges head on. A Rowena has a phenemonal grasp of whatever language by which she communicates and uses words to achieve her goals. Yet, a Rowena is empathetic and never wants someone to feel diminshed in any way after an interaction with her.
"I'm not sure you should hire this candidate, she's sounds like a true Rowena."
"Are you kidding me? She's the kick in the ass that this department needs and they won't even know that she's doing it!!"
