intersectionality

Concept used to describe ways in which shitty social constructs like -isms & -phobias are interconnected (intersectional! geddit?) and not magically separate issues.

Also used to describe how social inequality is experienced as an "intersection" of several forms of discrimination.

For instance, feminism that totally ignores racism is inevitably going to fall flat on its face, and pretending all social issues boil down to "it's all about claaaaaass!" is an exercise in brainlessness.

A transsexual black woman experiences intersectionality because she experiences both transphobia, racism, and sexism.

People who cry "you're just being divisive! these are separate issues!" are ignoring intersectionality.

"My feminism will be intersectional or it will be bullshit."

pseudo-intellectual

Pseudo-intellectuals tend to own themselves using the word, "pseudo-intellectual".

"You should stop trying to be pseudo-intellectual and just accept that you're an idiot," the internet elitist said proudly, his puny bear chest puffing at the cleverness of his retort.

Intersectional Feminism

The scurry for new sources that arises when demand for oppression outstrips supply

"I am so oppressed!!!"
"Really.. How?"
"I'm not sure yet. But intersectional feminism is opening up whole new horizons in places I can be oppressed!"
"Great! For a moment there I was scared we couldn't be victims any more"

Intellectual Orgasm

When you hear something that is so profound, brilliant, or novel, that it blows your mind.

Guy 1: "... and thats how the theory of evolution works."
Guy 2: "Holy shit man, I think I just had an intellectual orgasm"

Teacher: "So I was reading through these economics tests last night when I came across Sam's example of a vineyard as one of the best positive externalities. It was so brilliant I had an intellectual orgasm."
