A logical fallacy where claiming something is an "ism" (i.e. racism or sexism, etc) because a person(A) is part of a specific group and not because of specific comments or actions from person(B) towards that person(A).
Related to both "appeal to emotion" and "ad hominem" logical fallacies: By claiming "ism" one party appears as the victim (thus appealing to emotion) while smearing the other party negatively as racist, or sexist, or other (thus an ad hominem attack).

Having Bron-ism is when you really want to swear your arse off and you can’t, for fear of the wrath of God or other moral/social judgement so you leave gaps in your spoken sentences only to indicate a possible rude word by a frown, “hmmm” noise or moderate hand gesture of frustration.
It is exceptionally annoying for the friends of people with Bron-ism who simply want the person to let go and say “fuck”, “shit”, “twat” “cock womble” or other such profanity.
One may have permanent or temporary Bron-ism owing to cirsumstance. For example, when at work, when in the company or parents or elders or people of fragile disposition.
“Don’t have a Bron-ism about it, just say what you think!”
“Are you suffering from Bron-ism again.”
The 1984 film "This is Spinal Tap" had a scene where a guitarist explains why they're so loud--the amps have volume dials that go to 11. When the interviewer asks why they don't just recalibrate so that 10 is the highest, there's a confused pause, after which the guitarist repeats, "These go to 11."
An 11-ism is any similar bit of clueless thinking.
