From another post where the word juveniles was used to avoid the truth. But what does the internet say?
One of my favorite new words this year, is the word stimulus. It evokes titillating, exciting and positive feelings. To stimulate is good. To be stimulated is great, right? Few people want to acknowledge that the word stimulus, as it is being used these days, means government spending. I take my hat off to the genius who finally figured out a way to make pork barrel spending exciting and necessary. (I bet its the same guy that decided to call taxes ‘investments’)
I half expected to see more porn with the word. I think they had to search long and hard before they found that stimulate might still work and hadn’t been corrupted.

I remember the days when Catholics were mocked for exchanging money for indulgences...
Exhibit 1: "gay"
Tithing has been neatly replaced by carbon credits.
This are the images put in skulls of mush head.
When you think of carbon credit, what is the picture in your mind?
As we go to press, other words are in the process of being redefined and/or banned. One of the most vexing to replace is the word bailout. Any progressive who can suggest a new, improved word to replace bailout, will win a prize. (The winner will be declared carbon neutral for a full year.) But remember, the new word must evoke feelings of tolerance, inclusiveness and piety. Oh, and it should be green, too. We await your suggestions.
bail out will be hard to change, replacement will be?

lots of good options. anyone have a favorite?
I marched for “Equality” in the 1960s. I reject out-of-hand the replacement of this honorable word with the grasping concept of “Equity”.
Opportunity should be equal, outcomes or equity should depend on personal effort.
Equity has replaced Equality in all leftard writings.
.The article disappoints me. Here are her new words:
inclusiveness, tolerance, meanspirited, stimulus, green, judgemental
These are not new words and have not been given new definitions. They are merely being used to describe some trendy ideas.
A couple of words that are new to me are “intersectional” and “boulder” as a verb, which means to climb a wall of boulders, as in “they are bouldering”.
Other new words or word pairs that come to mind are “unhoused”, “food insecurity”, and “food desert.”
“handgun,” does not appear to be
In 20th Century dictionaries encyclopedias, movies, TV programs nor books. NY State has a Pistol Permit licensing setup but not a “handgun” Permit.
“Handgun” is a made up word for pistol? A hand gun is any firearm you can hold in your hand and fire. I can fire a hand cannon, a hand mortar, a rocket launcher, an AR-15, a grenade launcher with one hand. “Handgun” does not appear in Webster’s 1887 Dictionary, but “pistol” does.
I never heard that word handgun ever when I was growing up. It’s a word invented by the commies. Once you start using commie definitions you have surrendered all your freedoms. I am dumb but I ain’t stupid. I asked
An attorney to find out when this term first appeared in legal papers.

“Gender” is a term from linguistics that refers to the classification of nouns, pronouns and modifiers according to sex or lack thereof, in other words, masculine, feminine and neuter. Now, it seems to refer to whatever sex one perceives himelf to be.
We need to get back to the original meaning.
It wasn’t long ago that the term “racist” referred to someone who didn’t like members of one or more races or who considered his own race to be superior to others. Nowadays, a “racist” is a good citizen who is well-rounded and maintains a healthy lifestyle. According to wokesters, you are a “racist” if you
