After throwing a molotov cocktail at that shack, it conflagrated quite nicely.

Confablamur ergo sumus

We think therefore we are. in Latin. Akin to "Cogito Ergo Sum" from Descartes, but expanded to how communities think and change. Confablamur was used as a term for conversation. This is where the English term confab comes from no doubt. Shakespeare did not coin it.
"Confablamur ergo sumus" , remember that Sarah, we have gone way beyond , "I think therefore I am" . Thinking and not conversing with your peers is like listening to one hand clapping. Good luck with that zester.

confabulation

A word denoted to the gaps in our memory that we fill in with a plausable but yet imagined memory.
And no, it's different to a hallucination, as a confabulation can only be retrospective (hallucinations are happening at the time)
"No, that didn't really happen, George. What you have just experienced was a confabulation."

"But i swear that time in year 8 the teacher was wearing huge come fuck me boots to class..."

Conflama

Conflama is a "campy" word that can be used when conflict and drama are occuring simultaneously. It's a contraction of the words conflict + drama = conflama.
"Girl, that boy I am dating is just full of conflama."

"Girl, I don't have time for your conflama, OK? I've got my own conflama going on..."

conflation of religion and politics

Something unnecessary that is done far too often by immature, unintelligent people who feel the need to put a label on everything and cannot accept that not everything fits into their cookie cutter images.

One example of such ridiculous is found in the top definition of the term "libtard" (wow, what an intellectual, mature argument against liberalism lol). According to this definition, the politically liberal are all bound to Hell, unless they agree 100% with every single thing that that the definer and his political party say.

It's so funny how they accuse atheists (and anybody who is religious and liberal, which for some reason is the same as being an atheist to these immature conflators) of not being patriotic, but then will go up to bash about how liberals and atheists are "ruining America" and will bitch and moan about America's current state... but when liberals say that America is great now and can get even better by learning a thing or two form other countries... then suddenly they're antiAmerican communists?
For examples of the immature conflation of religion and politics, just look at the vast majority of definitions on here :) Lol.

Due to the conflation of religion and politics, people honestly think that being a conservative Republican who votes for George Bush, John McCain, Mitt Romney, and Donald Trump will get them into Heaven.

No, "conservative" does not automatically mean "religious" which does not automatically mean "spiritual" which does not automatically mean "Christian" because:

1. There are multiple religions.
2. There are people of multiple political alignments in each religion.
3. Spirituality is often very different from straight up religion.
4. Politics are the most materialistic and manmade system, whereas spirituality/religion AT LEAST IN THEORY is supposed to be a search for the greater truth.
5. Jesus, who was all about letting people into his home, I really doubt would approve of profiling, bashing, and putting a border to stop Mexicans from coming into America.

But of course, neoconservatives will continue to assume that they are the only Christians and, according to them, atheists and liberal Christians and Jews are all one and the same, despite the fact that they have DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT VIEWS ON RELIGION AND SPIRITUALITY!

And this is why we can't have nice things *Sigh*
