Expletive Destigmatization

Allowing, encouraging, and not penalizing anyone for using, in a private or public meeting, words considered to be "dirty" or "bad", such "shit" and "fuck".
The posters inviting people to a conference announced that at the conference everyone would be encouraged to use expletives. At the conference, when the conference's participants began using expletives most people were shocked.

However, using them everyone was able to define and comprehend and analyze the problem better, and propose better solutions than if no one had expressed themselves without using expletives.
After the meeting, the participants laughed and began talking among themselves using expletives such as "shit," "bullshit," "fuck," and its many derivatives.

The most common way expletives are destigmatized is by allowing and encouraging people to in private or public meetings use words which are considered "dirty" or "bad", such "shit" and "fuck".

In what events would it be best to allow people to use of expletives, and to achieve what?
The First Amendment is "also" about the right to be despicable, or to be anything.
Expletive Destigmatization means allowing, encouraging, and not penalizing anyone for using, in a private or public meeting, words considered to be "dirty" or "bad", such "shit" and "fuck".

Good for A but bad for B

The expression which debunks saying that something is "fortunate" or "unfortunate", because they do not specify who benefits or looses as a consequence of an event or outcome.
"Fortunate" and "unfortunate" are now debunked and archaic words. They are being replaced by "good for but bad for".

Because saying that a thing is " fortunate " or " unfortunate " does not specify who benefits and who looses. Thus, it's best to, for example, say, " It's good for A but bad for B that ____________________ ( a specific thing happenend ) " .

The Most for the Least

A phrase which encapsulates the idea that it is rational for every participant in an interaction to always endeavor to get the most by giving the least.
The fact that every participant in an interaction always endeavors to get the most by giving the least reveals that every human interaction is a negotiation. That reality of life is called getting "the most for the least."

Inverted Syllable English

This new, experimental, and highly creative type of English relocates and may even slightly change one or more syllables in a word, term, clause, or sentence to achieve an effect based on what a new word sounds like.
"Prefect Political Resentapration" is just one an example of Inverted Syllable English. Different effects are achievable depending on which syllables are moved because the new word which has had the position of one or more of its syllables changed might sound like an existing word. For example, to me, the word "resentapration" sounds like some kind of strange amphibian creature or some kind of strange action. The prefix, "resent" sounds like "resentment." And "pration" sounds like "aparition," predatory, preparation, apparition, etc.
