semantics

My understanding of the term "semantics" is that words can be manipulated to influence human thought and action. Mr. George Orwell had a good grasp of the concept, for example "Newspeak". Please look up "semantics" in a dictionary for a more professional definition.
An example of the use of semantics is: "Foetus" as compared to "unborn child".

Riley: "Barack Obama is Irish!"

MacDonagh: "Well, his great-great-grandfather was born in Ireland and emigrated to the US, but Obama himself was not born in Ireland, did not grow up in Ireland and has never lived in Ireland ... Does he have an Irish passport?"

Riley: "That's just semantics. Obama is Irish!"

Bitch Semantics

When Sean feels like being a little bitch and argues the meaning of "never mind".

This condition is usually related to having sand in his vagina. Since he can't get it out he gets a little perturbed and all bitchy.
