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.

A relative term

Guys! It's a relative term! Relax! How was I supposed to know I think in PhD level psychology as a matter of default?
Hym "Did I not tell you Jordan's next book was going to be me? You see them cannibalizing my work and converting it into conservative talking points right? Like... Yeah. I mean, I tried to bash my own brains in but they're just too strong! I got them strong brains, baby. And it's a relative term so it's not like a huge deal. I'm the greatest mind who's ever lived!
