gerrymandarin'

The sneaky re-drawin' of property/municipality-lines to benefit Asian-related interests, either a sub-group of the human race or citrus-farms.

I hear dat gerrymandarin' is a huge problem in da world's major small-and-pumpkin-shaped-citrus-growing regions, what with da huge profit-greedy mega-farm conglomerates wantin' to hog all da good crop-land real-estate.

Data Gerrymandering

Intentionally changing what the data actually show to fit a claim furthering an agenda. Anytime someone ignores, suppresses, or alters findings, results, data or statistics to fit their agenda. This could be media skewing a graph to hype fear (ex. of violent crime, drug use), politicians ignoring data needed to accurately assess a policy (ex. Lead in the water), social scientists beefing up a study's results to be published, companies claiming a product is safe (ex. Pharmaceutical clinical trials), and everyday users of Twitter who offer a "poll" to show what 'everyone' thinks.

The graph showing the increase in violent crime nationwide was obvious data gerrymandering because the statistics were only taken from the cities with populations over 1 million.

The Senator was gerrymandering data when he said that giving ex-felons the right to vote would mean all the convicted terrorists will be able to cast a ballot.

gerrymandering

Splitting the voting population in favor of the group in power by any means necessary, such as specifically targeted advertising, redrawing district lines, teaching specific politics in schools, or violence.

It was gerrymandering when the Catholic highschool took the children to a Bush rally.

Moving the books/notebooks of other students into different desks to influence where they sit during class. Used for political structure.

Germandarin

A Chinese-German hybrid language that all of humanity will be speaking in 20 years.

Because everyone will be speaking Germandarin in 20 years, I've decided to start studying German and Chinese.

I have it on good authority that everyone will be speaking Chinese in 20 years. Or a Chinese-German hybrid.

gerrymandering

In the context of Ireland, esp. in the time of establishing its independence on Britain, gerrymandering was used to describe the practice of some individuals going to the polls several times at different places, so that the party (Fianna Fáil in this case) was sure to win the elections.

My granddad told me he went gerrymandering dozens of times although he was not paid for it...
