Made-in-China Syndrome

Made-in-China Syndrome occurs, when someone implies that your valuables are not much worth as you think by presuming that they were made in an economy using plenty of cheap labour, often out of envy, ignorance or piss-taking.

"Look at this ring! I got this at an auction website last week! That was a bargain as well!"
"T's have a look...Cheap sliver shine, innit? Probably hot stuff. Or a sweat shop fake..."
"Here we go again. You're going through another round of Made-in-China syndrome, David!"

fallacism

Fallacism is based on misconception of racism. Fallacism occurs, when someone says that something is a case of racism, it is actually a case of nationalism or ethinic prejudice, not racism. Fallacism = fallacy+racism.

"I can't stand Joe's English superiority over us Welsh! That's racism!"

"Er...Welsh is not a race but a nation or an ethnic group, however you define it. You've just committed an error of fallacism".

Racistist

A person who interprets most of what you say to be racist remarks or close calls.

"I think I'm gonna get some Chinese takeaway tonight, mate".
"Chinese takeaway? You're a bit of a racist, aren't you? I suppose you can't stand the atmosphere of a Chinese restaurant, because it's too oriental for you? You said the other day that that African player wasn't good enough at the Premier League. That's racist, too".

"You daft racistist..."

Umbrella Socialism

Umbrella socialism - It is a common illusion that umbrellas are not exclusively personal belongings but socially-owned items that should be shared by anyone else, not just by the supposed owners, contributing to radically reducing a sense of guilt that using others' without any permission is a clear case of theft.

"Hey, that's not your umbrella, is it? I saw that in the umbrella stand at the cafe, when we went in"
"I steal theirs, as they steal mine. That's Umbrella Socialism".
