Intergenerational Amnesia

The tendency of new generations of people to forget about past historical events due to said events not happening in their lifetime and no longer existing in living memory.

Intergenerational amnesia is the reason human beings fail to learn from history and repeat the same mistakes over and over again.

Intervention

Fighting someone else's fight for them instead of letting them fight their own fight.
The fight started as the Jews and the people they were fighting until the intervention of the United States, for no good reason.

Intervention

It's a surprise party for people who have addictions, and you get in their face and scream at them, and you make them feel really badly about themselves... And then they stop.
My friend is really addicted to alcohol, so I think I'm gonna throw an intervention, sorry, I mean a surprise party.

Intervention clown

A female that hates the group that rejected her throughout her life, males that are not effeminate.
The intervention clown didn't want to allow males to be males because for her that meant more rejection and not as much to gain. She wanted people to stop doubting her, start respecting her, and start taking her seriously, even though they had always noticed that she was a clown who looked and sounded serious.

Intervention clown

Someone that wants to change the definition of reality and call the sky green just to be argumentative about something.
The intervention clown wanted to look for trouble with people and run some of them off from their own neighborhoods, even though she wasn't from their neighborhood herself, while trying to call them the bully, or the ones trying to dominate somebody else.

intergenerational trauma

An extremely up-your-butt way of saying “parental abuse.”
Last semester, my professor wouldn't stop talking about intergenerational trauma and what a terrible childhood she had because her mom didn’t buy her a car in high school.
