vocabulary hijacking

Choosing a word because it evokes a specific emotion rather than because it is accurate.
After 9/11 the word "terrorism" became a much more emotional term for Americans than before, when it was equally deplorable yet much more theoretical in most people's minds (i.e. something that happens elsewhere). Consequently, politically active people engaged in vocabulary hijacking by applying the term "terrorist" to their opponent's activities (e.g. environmental "terrorists", government-sponsored "terrorists", anti-choice "terrorists").

Hijacker

A Hijacker could be defined as one who masturbates on a plane. This could also be considered as "sneaking into the mile high club."
Upon his return to the United States, the world traveler shares his experience of masturbating over the Atlantic Ocean. His only defense was "Who can't go 8 hours without choking it?" Phil rightfully names him the "Hijacker."
