Uglitarianism

Uglitarianism is a sentimental form of vegetarianism. Uglitarians feel guilty about eating cute animals (such as baby sheep, ducks, etc) and therefore only eat ugly animals (such as pigs, cows, fish etc).

I don't eat lamb- I'm an uglitarian.

negative utilitarianism

The school of thought that states that suffering must be eradicated at all costs. The ultimate aim therefore of negative utilitarianism is to destroy all life. This aim is often termed global suicide.
Many philosophers reject negative utilitarianism as being a terrible moral system because it asks for the destruction of life, which is normally considered very painful to all involved.
However, achieving NU'ism goal will have no adverse effects because there will be no one around to observe them and decided that they are bad effects.

I believe in the values of negative utilitarianism. If you want to know why I haven't killed myself yet; ask a chain smoker why he hasn't stopped smoking even though it is ruining him and he wants to quit.

Friend 1: Oooh...those are some sexy underwear! Hot date tonight?

Friend 2: No, unfortunately. It's laundry day today, so all my utititarian bras are in the wash!

Utilitarianism

A philosophy that people should act in order to increase the frequency and longevity of pleasure throughout the world. Although the idea acting to increase long-term and global pleasure sounds desirable, Utilitarians believe that the pleasure of many outweigh pleasure of few. A Utilitarian may believe that killing one person in order to increase the pleasure of many or killing someone and harvesting their organs would be a just action. Some Utilitarians have seen that this can be dangerous; many Utilitarians, because of this, follow a slightly different ideology that they should act to increase the frequency and longevity of pleasure throughout the world by following the best social standards.

People who believe in Utilitarianism believe that it is all right to kill one person, take their organs and distribute them to many.

Utilitarist

The utilitarist is that who adheres to utilitarism (the theory that cites the best thing to do is to sacrifice "the happiness of one to the advantage of the majority").

Everyone is an utilitarist in some way. I am being utilitarist now by writing this text in the example box to exemplify it. In this (example) case, is more of a (dub) case of "hedonist utilitarianism".

Linas: *runs to the closet and grabs the flashlight in the top shelf*
Linas while holding the flashlight over his dad: “is this good dad?”
Dad: “GOD DAMIT LINAS! The dog is more utilitarious than you!”

Utilitarism

The philosophical theory that has as the golden rule : "The happiness of one is less important than the happiness of the majority".

In this author's point of view (and Audous Huxley for example), the cited "majority" in the utilitarism, is the most number of people that are benefited from an action: Jimmy has a cake with 8 pieces, but there are 7 hungry people around Jimmy, so Jimmy is being an utilitarist if he is going to share the 7 pieces of cake with other people out of his own will.
