Deconstruction

Band formed after the first fall-apart of Jane's Addiction. Dave Navarro and Eric Avery formed it. Stephen Perkins was interested but instead, he joined Perry Farrell's project, Porno For Pyros. They had one album: Deconstruction. They had one video: L.A. Song. They had no tour. A one time project that turned out surprisingly well. Dave and Eric's band name comes from their rebelling from Jane's Addiction.

the song "Iris" by Deconstruction is a great song.

deconstitution

A political stategy to remove or severely limit enforcement of provisions in the constitution that generally provide more freedom and liberty and rights by selectively enforcing provisions in the constitution that protect the rights of minorities and disadvantaged and basic freedoms of all. Also to knowingly appointing judges that will remove or severely limit provisions in the constitution that protect citizens, by writing absurd strategic legal opinions that misinterpret the constitution and to take provisions from the constitution out of its present-day context. so political, economic and social justice is perverted in favor of special interests.

Technically this strategy of deconstitutionalizing government can be done legally by directly changing the constitution, however, it is rarely done, mainly because taking away constitutional rights is highly unpopular.
Typically provisions are added to the constitution to give more rights and to remove loopholes.
Deconstitution is much like the political strategy of deregulation for nefarious purposes, such as to allow negative externalities and consumer fraud which hurt people in favor of special interests.

In most cases, the Constitution is clear and concise with regard to basic rights and freedoms. However, there is a major effort to promote the deconstitution of government so that politicians have the freedom to do what they want to whoever they want.

Deconstruct

To skool someone in the absurdity of a notion or belief by demonstrating the obvious primitive motivation that underlies it.

First coined by French philosopher Derrida as a means of expressing the inadequacy of any fixed ideas which are in constant risk of obscurity because of an ignorance of contextualization.

I deconstruct your choice of beer to intimacy issues, which originate from being sexually violated as a child by your nazi grandmother.

You can deconstruct Obama's reluctance for conflict with the conservatives to a sadomasochistic impulse to seek constant approval from dominant caucasian norms.

Dragonista

Someone who thinks she's a fashionista but in fact has nothing but a natural flair for not getting it (right/at all) and has a close resemblance to a dragon.

Friend 1: "Check out that girl wearing the BFpants with that
oversized i (L) Paris t-shirt".

Friend 2: "I say "dragonista in the house!!!". So sad, you can just tell from the way she's standing there that she really thinks she's dressed to kill."
