Idea Smuggling

The act of using language to sneak your preferred concept into the minds of others, and in turn, get them to agree with you or to think like you. This can be done by crafting narratives, redefining words, or by creating new words to manipulate the listener.

A prime example is the recent redefinition of the word racism. By changing the definition from racial prejudice, to a system and participants in that system, the entire library of books, speeches, and media dedicated to eradicating the racial prejudice, are now hijacked and used to attack whatever woke people deem to be "part of the system" (whatever that may be).
Through idea smuggling, you can coerce support out of beleaguered and docile people. Just name your group "The puppy rescue organization" and then do whatever you want. When someone criticizes your group, accuse them of hating puppies and standing in the way of rescuing them.

Facebook Idea

An idea that you come up with that has the ability to make you billions of dollars.

Wrong Idea

The term "wrong idea" is usually said by someone when they don't want you to contradict something they said. Two things are usually at the center of a wrong idea. If a girl liked someone as a friend but not as anything more then she doesn't want that someone to believe that she likes them more than a friend. The term is usually said by someone before they reject your thoughts or ideas. The kind of people who say this are more assertive and dominating. They might try to force you into unnecessary submission.
"I like you, but don't go around getting the wrong idea."
" I think you're getting the wrong idea..."
"Don't get the wrong idea but I don't think there is a right idea." - Contradicting Statement
