11-ism

The 1984 film "This is Spinal Tap" had a scene where a guitarist explains why they're so loud--the amps have volume dials that go to 11. When the interviewer asks why they don't just recalibrate so that 10 is the highest, there's a confused pause, after which the guitarist repeats, "These go to 11."

An 11-ism is any similar bit of clueless thinking.

Did you hear his defense of horoscopes? What an 11-ism!

I watched the political debates last night and have never heard so many 11-isms packed into one block.

Preemptive-"ism"

A logical fallacy where claiming something is an "ism" (i.e. racism or sexism, etc) because a person(A) is part of a specific group and not because of specific comments or actions from person(B) towards that person(A).

Related to both "appeal to emotion" and "ad hominem" logical fallacies: By claiming "ism" one party appears as the victim (thus appealing to emotion) while smearing the other party negatively as racist, or sexist, or other (thus an ad hominem attack).

Jane: "Donald Trump interrupting Hillary Clinton during the debate is a sign of sexism."
Dan: "Why?"
Jane: "Well, because she's a woman."
Dan: "That's Preemptive-"ism", Jane."

Greg: "Obama's healthcare plan hasn't worked out too well for him."
Steven: "That's racist!"
Greg: "Why?"
Steven: "Because Obama is black!"
Greg: "That's Preemptive-"ism", Steven."

Bron-ism

Having Bron-ism is when you really want to swear your arse off and you can’t, for fear of the wrath of God or other moral/social judgement so you leave gaps in your spoken sentences only to indicate a possible rude word by a frown, “hmmm” noise or moderate hand gesture of frustration.

It is exceptionally annoying for the friends of people with Bron-ism who simply want the person to let go and say “fuck”, “shit”, “twat” “cock womble” or other such profanity.

One may have permanent or temporary Bron-ism owing to cirsumstance. For example, when at work, when in the company or parents or elders or people of fragile disposition.

“Don’t have a Bron-ism about it, just say what you think!”

“Are you suffering from Bron-ism again.”
