cover term

A cover term is a word (or phrase) that provides a more general, legal, or accurate overarching term for a set of dissimilar terms that share a common property. Synonym: category.

"Cover term" may sound like "comfort term" when enunciated poorly or quickly, which might suggest the cover term is being used to make the original word (or phrase) more palatable or less anxiety producing to the audience. While this may occur, it is never the primary objective of using a cover term.

"Shelter" is the cover term for rent, mortgage payments, housing, and so forth.

Five Year Term

The maximum parliamentary term in the UK. Similar in many respects to a prison sentence except more painful, in that it affects over 60 million people, whereas a 5 year prison term ostensibly just affects the imprisoned individual. Also unlike a prison sentence, the nation could have the sentence doubled to 10 years, if Labour were to get in again!

Yes, I was caught bang to rights in the cab of my JCB trying to remove an ATM from the outside wall of my local SPAR at 2 o'clock in the morning. I got a five year term!
Like a good citizen I cast my vote on 4 July 2024, but unfortunately we've got Kier Bloody Stamer and his bunch of ponces, likely for a five year term!

In terms of whatever

“In terms of whatever,” despite one’s best philosophical pondering, means absolutely nothing. It is a phrase designed to irritate someone with its inanity.

“What are you speaking in terms of?”
“In terms of whatever. Could be anything.”
