pollardize

To remove all visible logos and brand marks from a product before using or wearing it in order to make it less vulgar; named for Cayce Pollard, the main character in William Gibson's novel Pattern Recognition, who is made violently ill by logos and removes them from her clothing. The term is being used in fashion/art circles.

She had to pollardize her jeans before wearing them, cutting off the pocket and flap logos and sanding off the brand name on the buttons.

polarized issue

An issue that has been made to appear black or white, wrong or right, one way or the other. These issues are intended to appear as though there are no other alternatives. People tend to polarize issues in an attempt to further their religious, environmental or political agendas.

"It's a polarized issue, you're either part of the solution or you're part of the problem."

"They polarize the issue to make it look like everyone either supports homosexuality or hates homosexuals."

Polarize

Polarize is taking your disguises
Separating 'em, splitting 'em up from wrong and right
It's deciding where to die and deciding where to fight
(Deny, deny, denial)

When two people are in a relationship but one person does not have the same feelings the other person does for them.

Greg: I love you so much, Hannah! *gives Hannah a hug*

Hannah: Uh…You too… *regrets consenting to relationship*

Hannah is clearly feeling some Polarized Attraction to Greg
