labelism

1) the incessant need to declare that those who disagree with you much be given a Label-- such as Racist, Sexist, Misogynist, Bigot, etc.

2) attempts to shut down political discourse (or to villify one's opponents) by assigning them with disparaging labels.

label

a label...a word given to someone based on who they are, what they like, or their appearance. someone who is in a punk band is a punk and therefore shouldn't even consider liking the girl that is more into sports. labeling is a way of making everyone fit into a group, but what it really does is leave everyone out.

warning label

The existence of warning labels is proof that Darwin was right, this sticky piece of paper keeps Americans from going extinct.

(Since most ACME props lack warning labels, the coyote has a pretty rough time.)
Warning label found on rat poison:
"Has been found to cause cancer in laboratory mice."

And another warning label on the rear-view mirror of a car:
"CAREFULL - Remember, objects in the mirror are actually behind you."

label

a label is typical human nature
generally people don't like to be labeled, but it's often half their fault. if emo is the only thing you give off, expect to be called it
but labeling isn't a good thing to do, no matter how "emo" or whatever someone is. labeling is judgement
a label is calling someone prep because they're wearing an abercrombie tshirt
