wordism

The art of deriving words from seemingly nowhere, by utilising the full extent of the English language.

I used wordism to create my own post modern impressionist dictionary of existentialisistic terms.

wordism

A dislike for or prejudice against certain types of verb, noun or adjective.

"I treat anything with an ism at the end with suspicion until I know what it's all about, and usually it's bad."
"That's wordism!"

Wordism

Used in the familiar. Derivative of the slang "word." Used to emphasize, or otherwise acknowledge in agreement, an idea with a peer.

Tom: "You wanna go see a movie later?"
Jane: "Yeah, that sounds good."
Tom: "Wordism."

wordist

A wordist is someone who believes that words have absolute meaning. This is another term for word fundamentalism. When people love certain words, the sound of the word, or the imagined meaning, they are often willing to kill or die for the belief in that word or idea it represents to them. Words all define each other, around in an endless circle, and no word has any absolute meaning. Wordists fail to realize this and should read the undictionary to help get the world out of the present fundamentalist wars.

"Eddy" was such a wordist that he believed in being proud to serve the country he loved. He went to war to kill people, (or get killed himself), who were also wordists in the country that they loved. They both absolutely believed in many words and concepts as if these words were actual things that had meaning, instead of words, just being hints to really communicate and get us where we need to go.

wordsmash

writing in a stream of consciousness free verse while tweaked up on any kind of narcotic substance organic synthetic or otherwise until the path of words ends in symbolic chaos and absolute nonsense...

an intentional form of writing that seeks to challenge the assumptions between writer and reader that support traditional channels of communication...

I aim to shake the world awake from hypnotic enslavement to a dead language through wordsmash.
