Are the shibboleths of Rationalwiki confusing you? We provide you with dys lexicon to make it worse.
Contents |
A
- ' ... a sensitive man' - (n. phrase) - named after a CP vandal who posted the same picture of Hitler and his dog over and over, with the caption 'Hitler was a sensitive man'. Thus, saying that someone 'is a sensitive man' is a veiled accusation of them being far-right.
- Origin - back in the day.
- Incidence - Conservapedia
C
- Curse of Ham - (n) - a racist fallacy that all non-white people have darker skin pigmenting because they are cursed.
- Origin - Genesis 9:20-27, Ham being the one whose descendants were cursed.
- Incidence - Republican Faith (blog)
D
- Deceit - (n) - a catch-all refutation and condemnation of any statistic, argument, subtlety or humour. Often prefixed by 'liberal'.
- Origin - Andrew Schlafly.
- Incidence - Conservapedia, Rationalwiki
- DEMONcrat - (adj; n) - see LIEberal.
- Incidence - Republican Faith (blog)
F
- Faith: What you have, when you don't have any proof.
- Fnord - if you can see this, you already know.
G

- Incidence - RationalWiki
- Origin - Human, but ownership immediately transferred to Docsock/PalMD.
L
- LIEberal - (adj; n) - hilarious conflation of the words 'lie' and 'liberal'; then, just to make sure that you got the joke, they capitalised the 'lie'. D'y'see?

M
- moonbat - (adj; n) - a left-winger, often with environmental connotations. Compare - 'moonraker', and hence connotations of head-in-the-sky thinking.

- Incidence - Blogs 4 Brownback
- My bad - (exclamation) - oops, sorry, what I did was an eror.
N
- 95% - (adj; n) - an invented statistic (often by Andrew Schlafly) that links two otherwise seemingly unrelated phenomena. See Conservapedia:Schlafly Statistics.

O
- !!!1!@!!one! (and variations) - (excl) - an often ironic imitation of the effect of mashing the buttons around 1/! in order to convey excitement, joy, or rage, sardonic or otherwise.
