Deadline Anthropologist

A newspaper or magazine writer who creates inane articles about alleged dramatic changes in culture or society, even though the evidence is often flimsy generalties and select anecdotes.

Did you see that deadline anthropologist's article about American men now caring more about charity than acquiring personal wealth? Must be true because the pastor and kindergarten teacher quoted in the article said so.

ethnocultural neo-anthropology

a new sub-branch of cultural anthropology

ethnocultural neo-anthropology should be devoted to answering the sole question of whether or not decolonized people in Third World countries can, without either immigrating to the Western World or financial help from the United Nations, historically, economically, and socially develop along Western lines using their own cultural and religious markers that they had prior to the beginnings of colonialism, i.e. prior to 1469 (the marriage of Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castille. I think the answer is yes.

Anthropomorphic

Used to describe a fictional animal if the writer chooses to give it the ability to speak and communicate. Wikipedia uses the word "anthropomorphic" for any animal in fiction that has human level intelligence, but you should only use it for animals in fiction that speak.

Why did they make the Puppy Dog from The Powerpuff Girls episode 'The Rowdyruff Boys' anthropomorphic in 'Shut the Pup Up'? It's stupid.

In some movies, humans are unaware that animals are anthropomorphic.
