Originalism 

A form of judicial self-insert fanfic in which the author of a legal opinion imagines the founders of the nations fawning over them, panties a-drip to agree with their ideas. "Oh Antonin, you're not like all the other justices, you really get me; of course corporations are people! Hamilton was just telling me as much just the other day; how clever and handsome you are!"
Citing the doctrine of Originalism, the court disregarded the "well-regulated militia" clause of the 2nd Amendment.

originalism 

A form of necromancy that involves imposing one's will by animating the corpses of the dead
Trump has appointed many necromancers skilled in the art of originalism to the federal bench, who have proceeded to raise the corpses of the founding fathers and use them as twisted puppets

Originalism 

A form of judicial self-insert fanfic, in which the author of a legal opinion fantasizes that the founding fathers are gushing over them, panties a-drip, "Oh Antonin, you're not like all the other justices, you really GET me; of COURSE corporations are people!"
While the Court's decision breaks with tradition and perfectly encapsulates the prejudices of a racist old white man, the justices defended their opinions by citing the doctrine of Originalism.

fake originality 

When someone thinks they're so original and clever because they thought up something everyone has heard before.
"I like to call Target 'Tar-jay' to make it sound fancy."
"I don't watch that show, and none of my friends do either. They should call it 'Everybody Hates Raymond.'" (waits for laughter)

"I heard that from someone else today. Enough fake originality."

originality 

To think independently.
Word very misused today. Today it is used as "being different from the rest." Maybe so, but not in all cases. Originality; being yourself, doing what you like. If what you like happens to be the trend, you are in fact, original. Losers try to be original by just being different, which results in not doing what you want to do. Just do what you want, and like it. That's your own originality.
Express your originality through song or words.
