Boogie Man Words

Words and labels used as false/unproven allegations to vilify a person or groups of people.

The user of these words thinks that his/herself is awesome but, in reality, these words are convenient accusations used by the ego, to attack the other person/persons for their unworthiness, to bolster it's own awesomeness. This practice is an attempt by the user, to compensate for his/her true lack of integrity, intelligence, compassion, humility and lack of awareness - usually, unbeknownst to the user.
Example of words that can be used as "boogie man words": cooties, witch, boogie man, fascist, racist, homophobe (and at one time, homo), xenophobe, transphobe, conservatives, Trump supporters, anti-vaxxer, climate-denier, conspiracy theorist, tin-foil hatter, flat-earther, etc...
