In a battle of wit during discussion on public forums, message boards, fb groups.. etc. an Ivanism is considered to be a truly weak response of the highest degree. A weak and unbalanced retort in which extreme cases of butthurt are revealed. An Ivanism is also known as a euphemism to the expression "foot in mouth" which in many cases may come back to haunt person (who in lost train of thought or just out of plain stupidity blurts out said Ivanism) at a later time, even much later.

Some Ivanisms are so epic in content that they warrant being saved and stored for future/educational purposes.
Littledick: Your newest entry attempt on UD does not embarrass me in the slightest, and to prove my point I will be sure to look it up and click on "DO NOT PUBLISH" for "I am a Senior Urban Dictionary Editor, that means I am God.... bow before me!"

Bigdick: I may not get my entry accepted into Urban Dictionary, but you have just given me this most precious moment for which I am eternally grateful. You not only gave me the perfect example for my newest entry, but your latest shriek has got to be your greatest Ivanism yet.

Thank you, Mr. Senior Editor @ Urban Dictionary, your inspiration is greatly appreciated and I have decided to give it another shot.

Sincerely, Bigdick

The belief that all humans should be equal because we're all human, nobody's more or above that, that there should be a mutual respect among all.

Background: The Izanian Leader: "I believe that humans should all be equal because we're all human, we may look different but that doesn't change our species. The whites made up stuff about blacks, and Japanese had there beliefs because they wanted a god. That should all be thrown out, and set a plan for the future which we are in. Izanism is meant to help not destory, goes to light not to darkness, believes in love not in hate. I would help the whole world if i could, but if you all help me make this a reality, you all could be heros. Racism that can go down bit by bit, the homeless will be housed, false prideful people will be taken down, and other things will be stopped along the way. I just want peace, but we gonna have control over it all. A false and shady government isnt the way. If not, then, I tried, and I will keep on trying no matter what. And thats love, for all of you.
If this doesn't phase you, then I'll keep on going and going until you all rejoice."
"I am a strong believer of Izanism."

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
