judicial activism

A charge made by conservative activists against liberal judges, accusing them of using their office to make laws instead of resolve disputes over laws.

The term 'judicial activist' is almost applied to liberal judges. Conservative judicial activists, on the other hand, are called 'strict constructionists'.

MacTavish

Craig MacTavish was the last player in NHL history to not wear a helmet. Therefore, anyone having sex without wearing a condom is going "MacTavish".

I was so drunk last night, I went MacTavish with this girl I met at the bar. This morning I was scrubbing my balls for 45 minutes.

thumbs-down activism

Clicking the thumbs-down button on youtube, urban dictionary, or elsewhere because it offends your ethical sensibilities, in the hope that this action will somehow contribute to social change.

Jimmy thumbs-downed a definition because it wasn't politically correct.

Newt Gingrich reduced us to thumbs-down activism when he disabled comments on his videos.

Mactivist

Someone who vigorously campaigns for Apple products as if the brand was a political cause or religious sect.

Person A: Why does that guy always walk around from person to person to brag about how cool his iphone/ibook/mac t-shirt is?

Person B: He's a Mactivist... spreading the good word is his life's work.
