Bullardism: to be accused of making racially motivated remarks when criticising someone (when this is not the case, or one believes or understands that despite appearances, it is not the case).
Example: The essential difference between my culture and the culture of those who criticise me for not respecting Africans is this. My culture doesn’t automatically respect people simply because they have a flashy job title, lots of bodyguards and a shiny car.
A: Is that statement racist?
B: Seems like it; no I think it's a Bullardism. He's just saying what he thinks.
Ivoism: to say something that assumes there are no limits.
Example: Never before have so many people lived so long or been so healthy or had so much stuff. We now have the technology to live forever, having as many children as we like - global warming is a myth, and technology and human ingenuity will save us from any resource shortfalls.
Stofilism (interchangeable with 'jingoism'): n. Extreme nationalism characterized especially by belligerent tribal policies, nepotism and being generally unreasonable; chauvinistic self-interested patriotism, having a 'club'/'us versus them' mentality.
I believe we should change the name of the Springboks, to the All Black Boks. The New Zealanders will have to find something else. In fact I believe they have already stated that they wish to play Fiji instead of the AA BEE ABB squad in the upcoming TriNations. They can go to hell. We're starting up a new Tour, the All Africa Tour. First game is against Egypt (the soccer team will attempt to play rugby). The other games will take a single player from various African countries as long as they are black.
Bekism: To grossly understate a problem, or misrepresent it, apparently by accident or oversight
"We cannot pretend that there is nothing wrong with the electricity in this country, and there are a few other issues too."
Erwinism: to make outlandish claims that defie belief.
