Clientism 

Clientism: the cultivation of dependent client groups, who in exchange for freebies (usually granted from public funds) can be counted on to tout the Provider's cause at critical moments.
A politcal chief gives freebies (like free TV for all those below poverty line) to cultivate a client-support base that will support him/her at critial moments.

The ongoing tussle between "red shirts" and "yellow shirts" in Thailand is a good example of two opposing factions created by clientism.

clientside

Anything that occurs on the client in a client-server relationship. For example, CSS is clientside because it's used by the browser. PHP is serverside (the opposite of clientside) because it's used by the server.
XHTML and CSS are clientside languages.

(klint-iz-uh-m)
-noun

an informal way of speaking or texting, which is usually the result of years of getting hit in the head, where the practitioner commonly uses words that don't belong in place of ones that do. The person using a Clintism will believe that there is nothing wrong with the way they speak or spell. Most common is replacing the word "that" with "what".
e.g. "Looking for a phone whats work."
The practitioner will also spell words how they sound while texting. This often results in the practitioner's phone to auto correct right words to the improper ones.
e.g. " I mite get done early."
That guy with brain damage has really picked up Clintism lately.
