Free Market Capitalism, a form of Social Darwinism predicated on the ability to obtain capital, wherein companies and corporations compete in a Darwinian market that favors whatever is best for business.
In theory Capitalism (Economic Darwinism) is supposed to be regulated by the consumer, but most consumers are lazy and apathetic and the majority of them are probably idiots, as evidenced by the survival of Electronic Arts and the success of the Twilight Saga.

Get the Economic Darwinism mug.The people responsible for kabob restaurants that remove the sticks from their kabobs. That make McDonald's serve their coffee cold. That make toothpick-makers print instructions on toothpicks. That force step-ladder manufacturers to put more warning labels than steps on their step ladders.
In other words - people who are (intentionally) stupid and use frivolous lawsuits to bring us all down.

Dude. I went to a kabob restaurant yesterday, and the kabobs had no sticks in them? What is up with that?
Dude. It's the darwinese suing because they poked themselves in the mouth.

Get the Darwinese mug.First used by Thomas Henry Huxley in a review of Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species in the April 1860 issue of Westminster Review, it has since become a term used by creationists to poison the well when discussing (attempting to discredit) the theory of evolution. By adding the -ism, they imply a system of beliefs or an ideology, hypocritically equating Darwinism to any other crackpot idea.
Calling someone a "Darwinist" or "evolutionist" is about as ridiculous as calling someone who accepts the fact of gravity a "gravitationalist," or someone who believes the earth is spherical a "sphericist."
Darwinism is wrongly thought by many fundamentalists to be the "religion" of atheists. It's true that most atheists accept Darwin's theory, but that fact is irrelevant to their nonbelief in a deity. They simply see no reason to reject something that's obviously true (i.e., it doesn't contradict some other belief that they refuse to give up).

Darwinism isn't a belief system or an ideology. A person who accepts Darwin's theory (after 150+ years and mountains of evidence in its favor) is merely non-delusional.

Get the Darwinism mug.The effect of people either falling behind in school or getting killed by texting or using their digital devices instead of paying attention to the world around them.
Digital Darwinism is when a driver runs off the road because they were texting.
Digital Darwinism is when a student fails a test because they weren't paying attention in class, using their phone instead.

Get the Digital darwinism mug.1. An inappropriate, crude, or shocking statement or phrase that is almost always followed by an exclamation of "Darrin!! Oh my god!!!"
2. Word vomit that is often intended to shock or surprise. Always overtly crass and inappropriate.

Darrin: well, if you didn't want to end up pregnant you should have taken it in the ass.
Linda: Darrin!! Oh my God!!!
Darrin: You know your boyfriends sperm count is high if you have to chew before you swallow.
Suzanne: Darrin!! Oh my God!!!
Darrin: So... Just wondering if your mom has plastic slip covers on her couch. Just wondering if she's a squirter or not?
Linda: Darrin!!! No no no! (Face palm)
Darrin: Here's a Darrinism for you...Bite the pillow, I'm coming in dry!!!
Linda and Suzanne: What the hell!!! No!!!

Get the Darrinism mug.Pejorative for "evolutionary biologist" made up Nazi witch and infamous gobshite Ann Coulter because she has got her head shoved so far up her own arse that she can't accept the evidence of evolution.

Get the darwiniac mug.A buzzword that creationists use to refer to the theory of evolution. They use this word to try to equate the theory of evolution with ideologies like communism and fascism.
Such a tactic is dishonest. The theory of evolution is not an ideology. Ideologies are PROSCRIPTIVE--they make value judgments and say what should and shouldn't be done. The theory of evolution, like all other scientific theories like gravity, relativity, etc., is DESCRIPTIVE--it describes and explains facts. Such theories are testable by analyzing them to see what the predictions that they make, and then seeing if those predictions match the facts.
For example, applying the theory of relativity predicts where the stars will be. We look at our hubble telescope and see that lo and behold, the stars are indeed where the theory predicts them to be!
The theory of evolution predicts that the evidence will show that humans and chimpanzees are closely related. We look at human chromosome 2, and see that it's virtually totally analagous to two chimp chromosomes, and lo and behold, human chromosome 2 has a fusion site with telomeres in the middle of the chromosome! (Imagine taking the 2 chimp chromosomes and "scotch-taping" them together--that's what human chromosome 2 looks like).
