vocabulary hijacking

Choosing a word because it evokes a specific emotion rather than because it is accurate.

After 9/11 the word "terrorism" became a much more emotional term for Americans than before, when it was equally deplorable yet much more theoretical in most people's minds (i.e. something that happens elsewhere). Consequently, politically active people engaged in vocabulary hijacking by applying the term "terrorist" to their opponent's activities (e.g. environmental "terrorists", government-sponsored "terrorists", anti-choice "terrorists").

HIMA

Hima is the sanskrit word for snow. Himalayas is the abode of Lord Shiva hence Hima means very pious. Some morons and perverts who are sex addicts themselves have given a wrong meaning to the word.

Himanshu

A person with the biggest ego ever found in this world. Will always try to be better than everyone in sight, even the person who teaches him something. A himanshu cares a lot about his future, in fact, that's the only thing he cares about! A himanshu displays various sudden acts of movement in the face, like sudden twitches of the eye and nose, and often blames the movements on a "cold" or his glasses. Himanshu is always the best at everything he does. Even if he isn't, he thinks he is.

person 1: hey man, wanna learn this new trick on the skateboard? himanshu: i'm better than you. person 1: i contributed 20000000 dollars to the charity this year. himanshu: i contributed 200000001 dollars. person 1: i slept at 12 am last night himanshu: i slept at 12:01 person 1: himanshu, would you choose to take care of your parents, or your college? himanshu : i'm better than you.
