David Frenchism

a viewpoint in which one advocates for neutral classical liberal principles in the face of illiberal forces despite the zealous willingness of illiberal forces to turn the tools of classical liberalism against itself in the pursuit of power. A believer in David Frenchism assumes that under a free speech doctrine, all views will be afforded space in the public square in the marketplace of ideas, and holds this view even when presented with overwhelming evidence that allied forces are being effectively squeezed out by illiberal forces. David Frenchism typically involves improperly assessing the facts on the ground, underestimated the strength and determination of a political opponent, and making naive, Constitution-based legal arguments that are tantamount to "powerlessness by design" that cedes the field to a political enemy.

Nash David

Nash David is a slang term probably originating from the 1819 comic "David!" used to describe a very masculine man usually with a HUGE package that is a dark horse type character with good taste. Typical Nash David's swoop in to rescue distraught maidens with large breasts and wet cookies. They make all the ladies swoon but are for some reason unavailable to any of them for long. Be wary of these creatures! They are chiseled, handsome men, and the smell of their testosterone can and will bring all women in proximity into a primitive mindset, incapable of reason, or refusal of business. The most common usage of the term Nash David is to describe men who are often in short-term relationships, leaving the female counterpart distraught upon his depature.
