1. the tendency of a person to hear words backwards, say words with opposite beginnings, or write numbers backwards.
2. the tendency to be generally dyslexic in all forms of language
Linguistic dyslexia is saying "sweat and hotty" instead of "hot and sweaty"; writing 41 instead of when you hear "fourteen"; hearing "tofu noodles" instead of "toaster strudels"; saying "runny babbit" instead of "bunny rabbit"
A deragatory term used to describe a person who exhibits an unabashed behavorial penchant for kissing ass.
Joe got that promotion by kissing the boss' ass. What a buni-linguist!
Being well versed. Also, not being a complete stupid, fucking retard.
All my friends are Linguistically Inclined

Gestures, finger-spells and handsigns taught to a dog in order to train 'him/her' to respond to English words as orders!
Bow-linguistics are not the end of the story: alongside the 'dogsitter' and the must-have 'chewy' or chew toy, there's 'canine-freestyling', or handling a K9 to the sounds of hip-hop music! Dogis (dog yogis!) that train your dogfriend some 'doga' and when your dog turns 13, you can throw him a 'Bark Mitzvah' party, or why don't you get a 'barkitect' to build your 'furkids' an uber-stylish doghouse --ooopsies! 'barkitecture'? 'Muttiquette' (mutt etiquette) comes handy for your 'companion animal' should you be in a public place and want to avoid unexpected behavior ; And, if you're feeling lonely go adopt a 'dogter' (she-dog daughter) and get her some kiddens (kid-replacement kittens) for company!
This must be, no...is TEOTWAWKI!

A symptom of bigotry in which a bigot insists that the spelling, grammar, or pronunciation of other languages, cultures, or subcultures are inferior, or simply wrong.
Some linguistically intolerant Jews and Muslims, such as the late Sheikh Ahmed Deedat complain about what they call, the J Sickness, in which most European languages substitute the letter J for the letter Y when transliterating names from ancient texts, such as:
Joel for Yael
Judah for Yehuda
Joshua for Yeheshua
Joseph for Yusuf
Jonah for Yunus
Jesus for Yesus or Yeshua
Jehovah for Yehowa or Yahweh
Since J is the letter used to produce the Y sound in most European languages, this complaint is an example of petty linguistic intolerance. Sheikh Deedat also rather amusingly blamed the "J" sickness on Jehovah's Witnesses, as if they, in the 20th century had had the power to change the way Europeans spelled names in medieval times, so it's difficult to determine whether his bigotry was against Christians in general, Jehovah's Witnesses, or Europeans.

When you use linguistic glitter you are sprinkling your language with Fuck, Shit, and Cunt bombs.
I was always taught that cursing was bad language, now I know it is just linguistic glitter.
Destroying a language by using it incorrectly or in a way that is not in line or accordance with its rules, conventions, etc.
In the University of Excellence in English Language and Language Arts, Joe was convicted of first-degree linguistic terrorism by the University's faculty and superintendent when he wrote an entire research paper (53 pages to be precise) in which he used the word "then" in every place where he should've used "than" and misspelling every word in the last 25 pages. He was accordingly given a 25-year sentence (instead of a 10 non-decillion one, which the superintendent was very tempted to give) in order for him to learn his lesson and in order to warn others that the English language will be rigorously and strictly preserved at all costs.
