I think we should make a list of commonly used phrases in the media and what they really mean. A lot of these are tricks to make things more palatable to the general public:

• Undocumented Immigrant = Illegal immigrant
• Pro-Choice = Pro Abortion
• Happy Holidays = I'm too much of a pussy to say Happy Christmas. Non-Christians are NOT offended by Happy Christmas
• Plant Based = Vegetarian/Vegan. I'm sure that a lot of you guys have seen the push for vegetarianism over meat eating. A lot of people don't like what's associated with vegan
• Climate Change = Global Warming
• Marriage Equality = Gay Marriage.
• Partner = I'm too much of a pussy to say boyfriend/girlfriend.

Good idea for a thread.

Re: the bolded. It should read:

Quote:Undocumented Immigrant = Illegal Alien

That's what we called these refugees back in the 90's.

Aliens are a foreign nationals who aren't US citizens. An immigrant is an alien who has been granted the right to work and live in the US. These people don't have the lawful right to work here so they're not immigrants.

These are actual definitions from the government.

Actually,

"Xmas, and variants such as Xtemass, originated as handwriting abbreviations for the typical pronunciation /ˈkrɪsməs/. The "X" comes from the Greek letter Chi, which is the first letter of the Greek word Christós (Χριστός), which became Christ in English"

"The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) and the OED Supplement have cited usages of "X-" or "Xp-" for "Christ-" as early as 1485. The terms "Xtian" and less commonly "Xpian" have also been used for "Christian". The OED further cites usage of "Xtianity" for "Christianity" from 1634.[1] According to Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of English Usage, most of the evidence for these words comes from "educated Englishmen who knew their Greek""

Old school version of this thread is Ambrose Bierce's Devil's Dictionary:

DEBT, n. An ingenious substitute for the chain and whip of the slave-driver.

JUSTICE, n. A commodity which in a more or less adulterated condition the State sells to the citizen as a reward for his allegiance, taxes and personal service.

LAWYER, n. One skilled in circumvention of the law.

POLITICS, n. A strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles. The conduct of public affairs for private advantage.

PRESIDENT, n. The leading figure in a small group of men of whom — and of whom only — it is positively known that immense numbers of their countrymen did not want any of them for President.

PROPERTY, n. Any material thing, having no particular value, that may be held by A against the cupidity of B. Whatever gratifies the passion for possession in one and disappoints it in all others. The object of man's brief rapacity and long indifference.


And one or two of my own:

Inappropriate, adj. A word used to render a topic or fact forbidden, used by those who lack the power, means, or immediate opportunity to punch your teeth in. e.g. "That's inappropriate". Also see: CENSORSHIP.

Walk of Shame, n. Phrase given to describe a five second duration in a slut's life where, despite having emancipation and the opportunity and supposedly the belief that they can have free love and sex whenever they like without guilt, said slut feels cringing embarrassment and the sensation of being revealed for what they are to another person. Also see: NARCISSISTIC INJURY

Narcissism: Default operating system of most of the occupants (as opposed to owners) of Western civilisation.

Baby Boomer: Member of the generation that had children and then guaranteed the right to all following generations to murder theirs in utero, as well as use up said children's inheritances.

Racist: (Also see: ANTI-SEMITE, NAZI, etc.)
(1) archaic usage: one who believed in the supremacy and superiority of one skin colour over all others.
(2) modern usage: anyone who notices that certain ethnicities occupy jail cells, failed states, universities, banking institutions, and finance circles in statistically outsize percentages, and asks why.

Green: Red in more expensive clothes.

The process is the punishment: Bureaucratic processes particularly in the justice system are so expensive, lengthy, and stressful that the process of obtaining justice is freuqently far more injurious than either the act of delivering justice or ultimately denying it. See also: CHILD SUPPORT PROCEEDING, CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION

Socialism: The belief that a tiger with only half its teeth is a different and far less dangerous thing than the fully-dentured version.

Quantitative Easing: More complex and larger-scale version of government counterfeiting.

Counterfeiting: The act of printing money and indirectly destroying said money's value, rendered legal when the government does it.

Ms.: A single woman below the age of 40 who does not want to be fucked.

Nigger: Contextual word provoking offence inversely proportional to the speaker's lack of melanin.

The UK has a twist on this - when minorities are involved, all news stories will be in passive language, ie "Girl, 13, raped in park", "Parents mourn their beautiful murdered daughter" etc.
All about playing up sympathy for the victim and hitting the emotional buttons, but no mention of the attacker or any identifying features.
