isms!

[Richt]

Ok, ladies and gents. Its fun and games time.

We all know of the words, Sexism, ageism and racism. to name but a few. The idea for this is to come up the most amusing made up "ism".

The winner will be judged by me, and me alone and the winning poster will have a poll set up purely around them.

My obvious shout for the ism game is

Hairism = someone being derogitary about someone elses hair.

Whos next?

Definitions of WannabeTheTopPosterism on the Web:

• Prejudice or discrimination based on wanting to be a top poster. Like other "isms," WannabeTheTopPosterism can be personal, as when someone tells a joke or makes a remark that demeans a wannabe top poster because of his or her posting practices, or institutional, as when a wannabe top poster is paid less attention than a top poster for doing the same work.
  
• defines the ideology of top poster supremacy, of top poster superiority and of beliefs that support and sustain it. WannabeTopPosterism and patriarchy mutually reinforce one another.

Re: isms!

There has to be a definition of the "ism" as well, to qualify. Almost as if its a dictionary entry.

Hey! I resemble that ism!

Re: isms!

Really? That ism was pointed towards someone else. Heee. But if the ism fits - joking, joking....joking and laffing

Rich - why the heck would we tell other posters? So far there are only a few of us here. Good odds for us, I think. I'm not going to run out and ask for more competition. What are you thinking? lol
