newism

90s- Slang

It's new, so it must be better. Disregarding the old as being unimportant and irrelevant, and not as good. Even if the foundation of the new is based off of, imitating, or standing on the shoulders of the old.

The oval is better than the wheel, it's newer. Newism.

Nowist

A nowist is a person who believes in living in the moment. A nowist sheds negative things in the past and and gains energy from positive things in the right now, thereby improving the possible future.

Helen is a nowist, she believes in making the best of every situation.

nonism

The concept of being against all things. It is commonly accepted to be the first word which is made up only a prefix and suffix, no actual word.

Thomas: Hey let's go to a movie
Emanuel: Hell no i am firmly against movies.
Thomas: Well then lets go get some food.
Emanuel: Hell no i am firmly against food and getting it.
Thomas: What are you not against?
Emanuel: I am a nonist, meaning i believe in nonism, so i am against everything.
Thomas: Doesn't believing in nonism go against the entire concept and, if you are agaist everything, how is it possible for you to be alive right now?
Emanuel: WHA!*boom*
(head explodes)

this small sketch shows that it is ultimatley an impossibility for one to be a true nonist and that the word can only really be used to describe one who is against MOST things.
