How does xy work?

A phrase that questions something really simple and has an obvious answer to it, but can become very confusing if the one asking the question knows how to confuse. It can be used to keep up conversations.

Boogie Man Words

Words and labels used as false/unproven allegations to vilify a person or groups of people.

The user of these words thinks that his/herself is awesome but, in reality, these words are convenient accusations used by the ego, to attack the other person/persons for their unworthiness, to bolster it's own awesomeness. This practice is an attempt by the user, to compensate for his/her true lack of integrity, intelligence, compassion, humility and lack of awareness - usually, unbeknownst to the user.
Example of words that can be used as "boogie man words": cooties, witch, boogie man, fascist, racist, homophobe (and at one time, homo), xenophobe, transphobe, conservatives, Trump supporters, anti-vaxxer, climate-denier, conspiracy theorist, tin-foil hatter, flat-earther, etc...

"You really don't know what you're talking about. You need to do the work."
