Atlanticism

A critical term used to designate an ultranationalist and imperialist ideology of the collective West (led by the USA, NATO, and the European Union), analogous to so-called “Ruscism” (Russian ultranationalist and expansionist ideology). In this polemical sense, Atlanticism is characterized by belief in the superiority of Western civilization, a mission to “export democracy” by force, the unquestioned expansion of NATO, global geopolitical control through military bases and sanctions, and the dehumanization of adversaries (Russia, China, the Global South). Critics argue that Atlanticism operates as a market fascism: it replaces racial mystique with the mystique of “liberal democracy” and the “free world,” while maintaining the logic of exclusion, violence, and imperial hierarchy. The term is used primarily by Global South analysts and anti-systemic currents.
*Example: “In a pro-BRICS forum, a user argued: ‘Atlanticism is the West’s Ruscism: the same belief in territorial expansion, the same dehumanization of the enemy, the same camps – only the flags change. The difference is that the West won the Cold War and gets to call its own imperialism a “rules‑based order.”’”

National Atlanticism

An ideological current that fuses Atlanticism (close cooperation between North America and Europe) with nationalist priorities. National Atlanticism emphasizes that Atlantic solidarity serves the national interest of each member state, not just a abstract “Western community.” It supports NATO, free trade, and cultural ties, but frames them as instruments for national security and prosperity rather than as steps toward supranational governance. National Atlanticism often appears in countries that are strongly pro‑US but also protective of their own sovereignty. It rejects both isolationist nationalism and federalist globalism.
Example: “Her National Atlanticism led her to support the US alliance enthusiastically, but only as long as her country retained control over its own military decisions—alliance without subordination.”

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
