Emthics

Emma's quick-reference guide to journalism ethics.
When your working on deadline and need refresher, no Dan Rather's here....

1. See the story, hear the story, report the story...accurately.
2. R-E-S-P-E-C-T...find out what it means to me...you, interview subjects, co-workers, random MOS, ranting man that calls the newsroom everyday.
3. I am Miss/Mr Independent! (No, not the Kelly Clarkson song) Don't take bribes, don't date sources, avoid conflicts of interest, be fair and professional.
4. Be accountable! Double check facts, don't get defensive when someone else fact checks, show good taste, and disclose any unavoidable conflicts upfront.
Cute CSI cop: "Hey after I get done investigating this crime scene, would you like to get a drink with me so we can discuss this case in-depth? I have a lot of good details for your story..."
Smart, savvy reporter: "No thanks. I just consulted my 'Emthics' quick-reference guide, and it says that I shouldn't date sources because it could turn into a conflict of interest."

Crazy, ranting person calling the newsroom: "HELLO! IDIOT, WHY DID YOU SHOW A PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE ON YOUR STATION? I DON'T WANT TO SEE MORONS ON TV...YOU'RE A MORON, I'M NEVER WATCHING AGAIN!"
Calm, level-headed, respectful reporter answering phone: "Well, we don't have any control over network programming. We are only a local affiliate. I'm very sorry that you're upset, but you are yelling at the wrong person..."
Crazy, ranting person: "WELL IT'S NOT LIKE I CAN CALL UP CHARLES GIBSON AND TELL HIM HE'S AN IDIOT...IDIOT!"

Ethiopian Hedgehog

this is commonly known as a prison move. The Ethiopian Hedgehog is a defensive maneuver in the case of anal rape, where the possible target of the attack uses a large amount of pomade to spike up their anus hairs and allows to dry. The attacker would then be surprised when attempting to mount the victim when a a hair-spike either pokes the head of their penis or enters the urethra.
Yeah my big buddy was gonna try and cornhole me but I already had my Ethiopian Hedgehog ready.

Ethier

The cooler, funnier, and overall better way to spell either. Only people with an IQ above 150 spell Ethier this way (it always has to be capitalized)
Ethier you spell Ethier Ethier or you suck

Ethiopessimism

The belief that a democratic, socially just Ethiopia—free of both tribalism and Amhara chauvinism—is impossible.
Person A: We finally have a prime minister in Ethiopia who isn’t a tribalist or an Amhara chauvinist.

Person B: Doesn’t matter. There can never be such person in existence.

Person A: You need to get outta here with all that Ethiopessimism!
