Fashionable dictionary

The folks at Butterfliesandwheels.com has bought us a fashionable dictionary. Here are some interesting entries:



Acceptance


Nice, warm, cooperative way of evaluating ideas, much better than argument.

Accuracy


Exploded concept. Foolish, Platonic notion that we can get our facts straight.

Argument


Unpleasant, testosterone-driven method of supporting one's assertions, to be avoided in favour of acceptance.

Assertion

1. Essential technique, replacing the need for argument and evidence.


2. To be greeted with acceptance, rather than argument.

Assumption


Something to be examined when it is our opponent's and taken for granted when it is our own.

Defensive


Adjective for someone who insists on disagreeing with me, and goes on disagreeing even after I've said how right I am.

Demonising


Sharply criticising something that I approve of.

Education


Brutal, violent intrusion of arbitrary material into the clean innocent heads of children, which should be left empty.

Elitist


Someone who knows more than I do.

Ideology


Ideas we don't agree with. Probably exploitative.
