Refers to a brief display of how well/effortlessly someone can utter strong language. Can also refer to a noisy protest/riot where these unnecessary adjectives are freely/liberally bandied about.
Caring parent: I try to be very careful what public places I take my little ones to, they are much too young and impressionable to hear any damnonstrations yet!

Get the demonstration man mug.What results when easily-herded people gather to protest an issue that is not clearly understood by them. They make unintelligent, or just plain non-sensical "arguments". In a dumbonstration you can see people holding up signs as illogical as "Don't Kill Grandma," or "Get Your Gov't Hands OFF my Medi-Care."
Dumbonstrations are usually, but not always, results of lobbyists or companies with significant interest to push. These vested interests begin an astroturf effort, and recruit people who don't think critically about the issues. Consequently, what should have been a one-voiced demonstration of opposition to a clearly-defined topic devolves into a series of random rants and rambling with no sense of cohesion. Hence, you get comments that vary from the politically incorrect to the downright racist– reflecting the attitudes of the people that comprise the dumbonstration.

A certain non-news TV personalty is encouraging people to gather for what he calls "Tea Bag Protests." These usually devolve into a large, muddled dumbonstration.

Get the Dumbonstration mug.A private school in Illinois that really should be in Evanston but is in Wilmette. Most people think it's a snotty school because of the money, but it's actually full of (somewhat) nice people, despite the incredibly tiny population. A great elementary program, by the time you're in middle school you're ready to get the hell out and move on to a public high school - but you had a lot of fun in middle school despite it being...well, middle school. Overall, a really solid school.

Get the DEMONSTRATION mug.Ok. So, let's say I don't own myself: Bring me your kid and a loaded gun... And then tell me not to shoot it in the head. If you truly own me I won't be able to pull the trigger....

Get the Demonstration of Self-Ownership mug.A term that lumps "political demonstration" (protest) and "showing something new that the audiences have never seen before" together within this same term. It reflects both the act of showing dissent and the act of showcasing innovations or ideas to an audience.
The tech fair was a demonstration of groundbreaking inventions, but the protests outside turned it into a political demonstration about corporate ethics.
