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").

Hammocking

The act of laying in a hammock and enjoying the swing of nature pushing you gently into a slumber.

Hey Danielle, you should wake up early so we can go buy and hammock and get some hammocking on later.

Mexican Hijacking

Something that fails miserably to meet expectations. Originates from the hijacking of a Mexican airplane on September 9, 2009, in which a plane was hijacked by a group who claimed to have a bomb but instead had an empty box wrapped in brown paper.

I though Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull would be good but it sucked. It was a Mexican Hijacking.

printer hijacking

At college in dorm rooms lots of people have wireless printers. You can print off of anyone's printer and they will never know who printed. Printing naughty things is particularly amusing.

"Hey Josh, your printer is spitting out an image of a woman getting boned by a horse!"

"Jesus, I'm a victim of printer hijacking!"

"Haha, gotcha!"

domain name hijacking

When a business tries to steal a domain name through ICANN or another online arbitration process.

Disney tried to hijack my website, DonaldD.com, but my name is Donald Donallson so it didn't work.
