I didn't really laugh at this as much as I thought "do these words still make sense?" then another question came to mind.. have some of these words truly been "disarmed?" this is a common media strategy when one (typically politicians) want to justify something they're doing: they'll use a word excessively and in everyday situations and normal people will more or less get used to the word and the word becomes more and more accepted into the persons everyday vocabulary. Now, as we all know, everday things are more easily accepted by people as being actual things (as opposed to things in "radical new research"), and it thus makes it easier to justify an action just by using this word; people will (subconsciously or unknowingly/unwillingly) accept that something is true when based on things that are so common to everyone that it must exist. I'm not good at phrasing myself here, but I hope you get what I mean, and manage to answer the (implicit or explicit (the first one)) question, as I wouldn't be able to see which words have been implanted into my vocabulary like this.. people find american politics more interesting, and can thus be bothered doing things like this.. norwegian politics is less interesting on a worldwide scale, so "seeing it from the outside" is hard. I do hope, though, that I am aware of a few of the words here, as I did not vote for "fremskrittspartiet" (which is.. well.. it's for stupid people). also, have you noticed other words "they" use excessively? |
