terrorismism 

'Terrorismism", word similarity to euphamism, refers to the current political use of the word terrorism to instill fear in the minds of North American and global citizens. As corporate enterprises seek to screw citizens all over the world out of their resources and remove rights and freedoms in collusion with corrupt governments, we see the word "terrorist" applied to ordinary activities....i.e. a man growing a chicken an act defying corporate food production and sale will be called an "eco terrorist". Simple vandalism is referred to as "domestic terrorism". Terrorism-isms abound as politicians and corporations alike strive to brainwash the public, instill fear and remove rights. Ironically, the real terrorists are governments.
After years of enduring sour gas emissions at the hand of corporate big-oil, John Brown finally lost his cool after all his cattle were killed, hiw well poisoned and his daughter's school shut down due to contaminated water. John drove his tractor into X-Oils yard in protest and was arrested under a domestic terrorism charge, another terrorismism. Local politicians and X-Oil used public fear tp purchase the remaining farm land in the area for a fraction of its value.

cowtipping terrorists 

Anti-government acitivists led by Ammon Bundy, a Montana rancher whose father Cliven Bundy led an armed standoff with federal agents in Nevada in 2014 and who has described his supporters as “militia men.” Also known as “self-styled militiamen” (Reuters), “armed activists” (the New York Times) and “[armed protesters[” (The Washington Post).
These cowtipping terrorists don't take kindly to the feds telling them where they can graze their cattle and where they cannot.

Negotiating with terrorists 

The act of engaging another in an argument that is so self-evidently preposterous that doing so provides dangerous validation to the other party. Usually refers to arguments with bipolar ex-girl or boyfriends, often with a history of employment in various clothing-optional adult entertainment industries.
#1: Stripper Sara cornered me at the bar & started screaming at me again about her missing John Mayer CDs. She knows I would rather tear out my eardrums & set them on fire than listen to that douche.
#2: What did you do?
#3: I walked away. Anything else is negotiating with terrorists.

Terrorists. 

Cowards. Real men(not cowards) join the military. Terrorism is nothing new and never will be. Governments will resort to extreme measures to combat extremists, as sometimes the only resort to doing so. This is why the USA is blamed for being the initial reason behind terrorism, when jihadists who'se way of fighting their "holy war" is killing innocent civilians and making threats (much like street criminals, only terrorists are an organization) and escaping to secrecy amidst the confusion. What's more, terrorism is not just a view freaks. It's support is massive and in the underground. If we hadn't initiated the war on terror after 9/11 and gone on what do you think would happen? Extremists who vow to "destroy the western world" could have found something even more cataclysmic to cause, worse than 9/11. Terrorists wait until the coast is clear so they can cause even more shit. True, the USA hasn't done to well to fight the GWOT, America has some "refinement" to do, honing of it's skills. OH and sympathizers? Wherever terrorists are, they practically hold that area hostage.
READ A TEXTBOOK ON TERRORISM. DEVELOPE A SENSE OF LOGIC. ITS HARD TO SAY WHO'S THE ABSOLUTE WORST NOW, THE WESTERN WORLD OR THE TERRORISTS.

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.
