word burning

Similar to "Book Burning", it is when a word is no longer liked by a group of people and they decide it should no longer be used. Often used when a word is considered "negative" even though it is accurately used by its definition. The intention and the way a person is using it may be what is not liked but it is the word that is cancelled.

"Retarded" means less advanced in mental, physical, or social development than is usual for one's age. But some people use it as a derogatory term so we are no longer allowed to use the words "Retard" or "Retarded". Those words have been burnt. We are practicing "word burning".

Spot-burn

When a Googan or other unsavory “fishing” character trashes a local spot. By either unethical treatment of the Fish or land or waterways leading to the spot. Spot burners include but are not limited to Poachers, YouTubers, report chasers and litter bugs.
These people lack common sense and are the most entitled persons on the planet. They only fish to abuse animals and the environment for internet points.
After these people come through the spot is now burnt

Hey look at Johnny Bucktail is over there beating up the schoolies. I can see he is also live streaming for all his followers and giving them GPS coordinates and obvious landmarks. All Johnny Does is Spot-burn. He only cares about himself.
