Word-wash

The act of using terms, especially, but not limited to, ones that are more unfamiliar and “intellectual” sounding, in order to give a stance more clout, and make an opposing stance feel less valid. It often times makes the user of the term feel superior, and “objectively” correct.

This is usually seen when person A is trying to make an opposing argument against person B, and they try to solidify their stance as the one true stance by ending their argument with something like, “what you’re talking about is called insert word-washing term, and it’s actually a insert descriptive term fallacy.

Don’t generalize the way that I think about this situation with some 10 dollar word. It’s far more complicated than that. You’re just trying to word-wash me.

word recycling

When you are editing a paper or any text on a computer and instead of deleting the whole world you are replacing, you instead delete only the necessary letters and fill them in with letters to make your new word.

When she typed, annie was always word recycling. While she typed, she erased the 'i' 'v' and 'n' in the word 'relivant' and added a 'ed' to the end to make 'related':

relivant
relat
related

Some people just have to talk all the time. It is as though they have won some kind of word lottery and must use all the words they have won..
