Audism

Discrimination, prejudice, bias and other negative manifestations toward the deaf.

If you were suddenly to become D/deaf overnight, you would experience audism and would be treated differently in so many ways... especially in career fields (e.g. On March 2, 2006, a federal jury found in favor of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) in its employment discrimination lawsuit against Federal Express Corporation (FedEx) for violating the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. EEOC had charged FedEx with failing to provide a reasonable accommodation to Ronald Lockhart, a deaf employee who worked as a package handler at the company's Baltimore Ramp. The suit charged Federal Express with violating the ADA when it failed to provide reasonable accommodations to Lockhart in the form of American Sign Language interpreters, despite his repeated requests. The jury found FedEx liable for punitive damages in the amount of $100,000 for its knowing failure to accommodate Lockhart as well as compensatory damages of $8,000 for the loss of the accommodation itself. In January 2008, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit affirmed the jury’s award.)

Aadishree

Aadishree is a girl who always does things according to her will but also makes sure that she doesn't regret later. She loves her friends more than anyone else but don't always show it. Adishree can at times get weird and goofy but is also understanding. Her future is filled with unexpected turns of events as well. To describe a girl named adishree, the perfect adjective would be weirdly funny.

So, what type of a girl she is?
-She is Aadishree the extrovert

audisho

a person who jumps onto the bandwagon of a team that his favourite player (eg. Ronaldo) is transferred or signed to. Even if the team is not doing well, the person can still be referred to as an "audisho". Although it is important to be kind and understanding to audisho's that you know because they are very fragile and if you tease them, they could preform an audisho-like move and switch teams again! be careful.

YOUR AN AUDISHO!!
