populist

A term for a person or movement that embodies populism i.e. anti-intellectualism masquerading as disdain for "the elites" i.e. anybody who uses facts in an argument. This is generally found in the far-right (or alt-right, as they like to call themselves now), but far-left populists are not uncommon, just less prone to xenophobic bullshit

2016 was the year Britain and the USA fell for populist bullshit.

Popularity Polynomial

This is when something which portrays itself as "cutting edge" becomes mainstream, but soon becomes overexposed, behind the times, old hat, or just plain uncool.

Due to the popularity polynomial Pokemon is back in style.

popularette

A really, really, REALLY annoying girl who tries way to hard to be popular and for some really bizarre reason becomes popular. Often a popularette has blonde hair, shiny teeth, is stupid, pops up from nowhere amongst gangs of relatively hot guys and has an annoyingly screechy voice, but there are exceptions.

Heard of "Mean Girls" the film? The two cronies who tag along with that actually popular girl, Reginor, are fine examples of popularettes.

Schrödinger's Populist

A thoughtless political experiment in which contradictory and counterproductive governance creates a society so fragmented and chaotic that its leaders are only mocked rather than overthrown.

Alexander Boris DePfeffel Johnson is the very archetype of a Schrödinger's Populist.

Popularity

Not real. Popularity is made up to make people feel bad and others better. Don't believe it.

Person: "I'm popular!"

Me: "ya know that popularity is to only boost your ego, right? It's all bologna, I'm calling it. "
