Get the semantic spelunking mug."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.

I know this because I made up the word when i was in 7th grade for a school project. We had to fit a word or words into 8 letters (we were making lisence plates). Then I made "smrtical" which is "smartical".
Sorry, I just HAD to clear it up. :D
