<div class="IPBDescription">Oxford Dictionary here I come?</div> Earlier I completely butchered the word discrimination and actually created some sort of combination between discrimination and criminalization.

This is to be a discussion about the way our language has been changing, and the newly added words to the oxford dictionary, including "bling-bling" and "Bootylicious".

This will of course be a much, much lighter discussion than others currently up. so feel free to be jovial.

Discrimillizaton: verb; the act of passing laws under the guise of discrimination.

    Sounds like you made a word out of the standard way that lawyers win cases now.

    "Crimillization", of course, is itself the unholy offspring of "crimson" and "fertilization".

    Very good point p4, I think I might have meant criminalization *cough*

    I made up another one in honor of the discussion forums, a combination between persecution and argumentative.

    Persecutamentative: adj; A barrage of verbal attacks and insults disguised as an objective argument.

    Well I'll get the ball rolling, I used to be a supporter of the idea that if the point gets across that is all that matters. But now I see that this has a snow ball effect and it goes from "Hello, how are u?" to "Hi, hwR u" to "HHAY". Leet speak and such falls under this category too, and I have now changed my stance to: use proper spelling and grammmar unless constrained by time.
