All the verbal things one scampers to congure up, contort, and convey as sincerely as possible to patch up whatever's left of what was once an intimate relationship.
Janet: You broke up with Chad?!? Super-sensitive Chad? He's gonna implode!
Beth: I know! Too sensitive! That was the problem! So tonight I'm getting more stoned than the 10 commandments and write down every Semantic Band-Aid I can possibly pull out of the universe's bing-hole to make sure he doesn't mistake his dog's bed for his mother's womb and his Pabst bottles for breasts for the next half-year.

Alex: Did you see that Tea Party rally? I have never seen such an obscene spectacle of prostitutive semanticization in my entire life.
Sarah: I know, right? I went to it as a gag and I didn't take away anything meaningful at all from it. The word 'freedom' was thrown around so much, I don't know what it means anymore! And all those references to Hitler! Why does everybody do that every time they encounter someone they don't like?

"Anti-semanticism" is a humorous and satirical phrase that combines the prefix "anti-" with "semanticism" to create a play on words. It does not refer to a real concept or philosophy, but instead can be interpreted as a rejection of the importance or relevance of meaning in language or a deliberate use of language in a way that undermines or distorts its meaning. The credit for creating this phrase goes to Patrick Ryan.

"John's essay was filled with so much jargon and convoluted language that it bordered on anti-semanticism - I couldn't even tell what he was trying to say!"

An insult derived from an irrelevant but pithy-sounding technical term. Combining the perjorative and jargon terms feigns a deep, smart reason for refusing to shed ignorance.
James felt fearful and unaccustomed to using his own mind and habitually ceased his thinking at the perimeter of his peer group's established belief system. When someone posted an article with ideas threatening its gossamer bonds, his instinct for conservation drove him to cry, "Empty semantics!"
