socialized medicine

1. A derogatory term used by ignorant U.S. rightwingers to describe the forms of affordable and efficient health care practiced in Canada and many parts of Europe and elsewhere. Originally coined in the 1950s to defeat any proposal to limit the rights of doctors and insurance and drug companies in the U.S. to profit from disease and human misery.

2. Any proposal advanced by a Democrat or anyone else on the left to improve the ruinously expensive and inefficient U.S. health care system.
1. "I don't care if people live longer and healthier lives in Canada. That shit is socialized medicine, and it takes away my right to go bankrupt and die when my insurance company pulls the plug."

2. "Hillary's health care plan was a give-away to the drug companies and the HMOs."
"I don't care. She's a Democrat, so her plan was really socialized medicine."

physical socializing

Two or more individuals interacting in the physical presence of one another, without the immediate aid of online networking sites, telephones, mobile phones, text messaging, instant messaging, or other electronic communication mechanism. Two cups connected by a string suffices since someone must actually get close enough to another person to hand the cup over.
Two people sitting at a table in a cafe having a conversation with only air between them are in the process of physical socializing.

socialite

Someone who has money and doesn't work, instead devoting his/her life to being "socially active." Socialites go to parties, gather media attention, and essentially "work" at being popular. This often comes at the expense of any meaningful contribution to society or culture (outside of catchphrases-that-aren't-really-catchphrases, like Paris Hilton's "That's Hot").
Paris Hilton is a classic example of a socialite.
