something-ism

A term first (and probably, only ever) used on the popular tv show "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" in ep. 19 of the third season ("Choices"). Can be used to point out obvious discrimination that doesn't quite fit any specific "-ism".

"How dare you cut me out of the joint because I have Hep C. That's... something-ism..."

somethingism

The beliefs held by an individual who credits the existence of God(s) or a higher power, but does not subscribe to the specific religious beliefs held by any particular faith or institutionalized religion.

John: I don't go to church, I don't pray, and I'm not religious, but I believe in some kind of a higher power. Is there a name for that?

Steve: Yeah, it's called 'somethingism.'

post-somethingism

An art movement developed in the early 21st century in the southern suburbs of Perth, Western Australia. It is defined by its use of non-specific mediums and its general lack of standardised conceptualisation.

"I've tried abstract expressionism, post-modern feminist printmaking and romanticism but in the end, fuck it all. Post-somethingism is the only way forward in an art world defined by constraints."
