rjzaar Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Hi. I'm interested to find a new word to describe a person and the experience of when the following situation occurs. Person 1: I believe children should have a mother and a father. Person 2: That's homophobic/hate speech/etc. Person 2 is really saying, "I hate what you are saying, but I want to make out you are the hater" There really should be a word for person 2. I think a new word should be created so this problem can be exposed for what it is. A word that kind of explains what is really going on. I also think there should be a word for the experience of having to endure this kind of '_________'. All entries welcome. Maybe we can create a poll with the short list of entries. Maybe we can create a wikidictionary entry with the winning suggestion? What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabriela Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 What a great idea. I like dUSt's word. Technically, these people are just hypocrites, but I can see how that isn't "fine" enough to really get at the type of hypocrisy you're describing (and that we all know). dUSt's idea works also for your second "fill in the blank": Crehation, or crehate-ion.

Luigi Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 In the novel 1984, the person who made those kinds of accusations was called Big Brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
