OT: The New Forger's Dictionary

A friend of mine has posted a takeoff on "The New Hacker's Dictionary" (TNHD), defining
new means for words as used in specialized contexts. See
http://www.eclectic-eng.com/forged.htm. Example:

Authentic [adj] (1) worthy of acceptance or belief. Trustworthy (2) not imaginary, false,
or imitation (3) [CBS] A document which can be held in the hand. Common usage: "the
document we have is an authentic document".

Fans of TNHD might enjoy this site, so I'm sharing it with you.

(It seems, by the way, that I, and the hundreds of other experts in a variety of domains,
that weighed in on the "authentic" CBS documents seem to have won. However, I think I may
the only MVP that participated in this discussion)

This reminds me on USSR "newspeak" in newspapers and TV:

- "brotherly aid" - occupation
- "defence" - aggression
- "people's democracy" - dictatorship

and so on.

Sounds like the U.S. morphed into the USSR

How about:
- "homeland security" - Gestapo dictatorship
- "war on terrorism" - invasion, occupation, and annihilation of any country
refusing to serve the Zionist/Freemasonic New World Order
- "democratic values" - Zionist/Masonic dictates imposed on the world at the
point of a gun.
- "terrorist" - freedom fighters who oppose U.S. or Zionist invasion of
their countries.
- "hijackers" - Unmanned Airborne Vehicle technology in Boeings controlled
by U.S. Air Force technicians from the ground who direct them into tall
buildings in big cities.
- "freedom-loving people" - occupiers of other people's countries and
plunderers of other countries' oil

Around 3-4 years ago I attended the Usenet forum on Origin's Ultima games. The
games are based on the system of 8 Virtues - Compassion etc.

I wrote the English text about these virtues in the USSR. Can email it to those
who wants.

My email in this message is valid, without anti-spam salt.
