A word most teenagers don't know what it means. The real definition is "a descriptive term; an epithet."
An epithet, for those of you who don't know, is "A term used to characterize a person or thing, such as rosy-fingered in rosy-fingered dawn or the Great in Catherine the Great.
A term used as a descriptive substitute for the name or title of a person, such as The Great Emancipator for Abraham Lincoln.
An abusive or contemptuous word or phrase."
Now look closely at the sentence, "An abusive or contemptuous word or phrase." Isn't that what labels really are?
Labels characterize people. Most people today think labels are basically cliques of people, but it's not. You can hang out with whoever you want, and still be considered a certain label. I dunno about you, but if you would just be yourself, a descriptive term would come up; (otherwise known as a label) INDIVIDUAL! You can't get away from labels. They're a part of life. Deal with it.

Deal with it if someone calls you a prep or a nerd. Take it as a compliment and still be yourself. If you want to talk about this, IM me on AIM at ccglasses19.

Get the Lakeshark mug.There's no derogatory label for people who label others. This creates an imbalance in the linguistic arsenal. Example:
Person 1: "If you don't watch sports, you're a racist."
Person 2: "Oh yeah? Well, you're...a...person who assigns labels that are not sensible!"
See what I mean? It's like being in a stick fight and not having a stick. But we can fix that by concocting a...wait for it...label for labelers. I suggest that such a person be called a labelass. Example:
Person 1: "If you don't watch sports, you're a racist."
Person 2: "You're a labelass."
Person 1: "What just happened here?"
Person 1: "If you don't watch sports, you're a racist."
Person 2: "Oh yeah? Well, you're...a...person who assigns labels that are not sensible!"
