historicide

The murder of history; accomplished when a historian leans too far to the postmodernist/relativist or too far to the scientific/objectivist side of the spectrum.
Gibbon nearly committed historicide back there. Thank goodness Ranke has sorted us all out.

Historical guilt-tripping

A form of guilt-tripping using history. This method is usually used by people who admire the "good ol' past".
Dad: "Romulus Augustulus was a Roman emperor when he was 12. You are the same age as him but you do nothing but play Xbox all day."
Son: "Alexander the Great was 32 years old when he died and he conquered so many lands. You are older than him yet you do nothing but waste your money on some trash."

This is an example of historical guilt-tripping.

A History of the World in 6 Glasses

That one book your AP World teacher requires you to read, but you never really understand the purpose of the book. Although your teacher gives you plenty of time to read the book, you will always procrastinate and read it the class period before. The book itself is split into six parts: beer, wine, spirits, coffee, tea, and cola. Each part is mind-numbing and confusing and you'll eventually just get lost in what is going on. After finishing the book, I genuinely still have no idea why this book is so essential to understand world history.
Bob: Hey, wanna read A History of the World in 6 Glasses?
Any Reasonable Human Being: Why, does it look like I want to torture myself? You need to get checked out man...
Bob: Be nice, this book has some redeeming qualities.
ARHB(to themselves): Wow this dude is gonna stay a virgin his whole life.

Chapter 2: Wine

**** ACTUAL EXCERPT ****
Wine was important, but yet it wasn't that important. Only the rich dudes could get it, but poor people could not. Some dudes diluted, while some dudes were raw. However, this brings up the question "Was the use of wine foreshadowing the development of the printing press and the Scientific Revolution?" However, the most important point out of all of this is that wahmen couldn't drink it, so wine is sexist. Therefore, you shouldn't drink wine because it was sexist.
