Clintism

(klint-iz-uh-m)
-noun

an informal way of speaking or texting, which is usually the result of years of getting hit in the head, where the practitioner commonly uses words that don't belong in place of ones that do. The person using a Clintism will believe that there is nothing wrong with the way they speak or spell. Most common is replacing the word "that" with "what".
e.g. "Looking for a phone whats work."
The practitioner will also spell words how they sound while texting. This often results in the practitioner's phone to auto correct right words to the improper ones.
e.g. " I mite get done early."

That guy with brain damage has really picked up Clintism lately.

Clientism 

Clientism: the cultivation of dependent client groups, who in exchange for freebies (usually granted from public funds) can be counted on to tout the Provider's cause at critical moments.

A politcal chief gives freebies (like free TV for all those below poverty line) to cultivate a client-support base that will support him/her at critial moments.

The ongoing tussle between "red shirts" and "yellow shirts" in Thailand is a good example of two opposing factions created by clientism.

clintimacy 

The first entry in the "partial alphabet of intimacy"; it refers to what Prez Willie wanted to do with his "willy" while interacting with Monica Blewinsky and any other attractive female (well, other than his own wife, usually!) whom he laid eyes on.
Continuing on up in alphabetical order:
2. flintimacy: getting "close 'n' personal" when "flicking your Bic" or otherwise striking a light. Potentially very dangerous --- safety-goggles may protect your eyes from flying sparks, but you may still get pock-mark burns on your cheeks/chin/forehead (or a total face-blackening if you get too close to a torch when it ignites in a huge jet of flame or a humongous fireball if you mindlessly had the acetylene turned up too high!, à la Laurel and Hardy)
3. glintimacy: where you "get friendly" with shiny/sparkly objects/materials. A sign of being close to glitter-coated Christmas cards is when you end up with "twinkly fingers" afterwards from loosened glitter-particles
4. hintimacy: merely implying that you love someone, rather than actually coming out and saying so in a plain "obvious" way
5. lintimacy: where you get snuggly with "shedding" cloth items
6: mintimacy: necking with someone after using menthol-flavored toothpaste/mouthwash
7: printimacy: loving the scent of fresh ink; watch out for messy dark-blue stains on your nose
8: stintimacy: having an affair with one or more fellow military personnel during your tour of duty

And #9: tintimacy: affectionately burying your face in a gal's hair shortly after she dyes it; again, as with #7, this practice can result in embarrassing smears of blonde/brown/red pigment on your lips/nose/cheeks

As a result of Willie J's rampant 'n' wanton "clintimacy", half the youngsters in D.C. have his DNA (and his stupid lecherous smirky grin)!
