More Word Definitions

Elitist: Modifier used by default to describe any idea coming from some source other than some lowbrow social group. If the source of the idea is a member of one of these groups, the word elitist will only be used by a member of the same or another group who either perceives himself less worthy, due to social norms within those groups, or who considers the holder of the idea to be arrogant, due to a host of bad reasons that people use to say someone else is arrogant (such as "we disagree" or "he was smiling when he said it.")

Lowbrow social group: Any group that someone decides is not worthy to be a regular social group. Because politicians and bored high-academics use the word elitist in the manner of lowbrows, their groups may be considered for lowbrow status on a case-by-case basis.

Judge: A person who, for the common good, either interprets and executes the law or who reviews the consistency of law.

Authority of a judge: What a judge is and is not allowed to do. In colloquial language, a judge has the authority to make good legal decisions but not to make bad legal decisions.

Good legal decision: One that goes your way.

Bad legal decision: One that doesn't go your way.

Activist Judge: A judge who makes even one bad legal decision. Especially in plural, judges are accused of being activist without regard to good legal decisions, which must be ignored for rhetorical purposes.
