Java is the name of an island in indonesia, but now most people associate it with coffee or a programming language. Not many people know where it actually originated from.

This man was the first revolutionary, a class concious socialist who hated wealth, a working carpenter who hated the greed of business, and denounced those who exploited others. He was murdered because of his social activism. Now, his name has been perverted as the "son of god", his examples stultified by his enemies to pacify and oppress the very people he loved and wished to see free.

Journalist
Click on the word for comments

Journalist today really means either government mouthpiece who parrots the latest official press release, or it means a political pundit making every excuse for his favored party while unduly bashing the party less favored. Oh, actually lets be straight about it, shall we: "journalist" today really means a terribly conflicted individual: a conservative-bashing liberal incapable of actually doing any actual reportage who thus simply parrots the right-wing official press releases while bashing the so-called "source", in an endless cycle of self-hating dependence.

Just about any word or phrase used as a slogan or logo or in a title...

For instance, Entrepreneur magazine actually sued someone for using the word "entrepreneur" in the title of another magazine, and Fox news suing Al Franken for daring to use the phrase "fair and balanced" as part of his book title when all the world knows they own that phrase.

jihad
Click on the word for comments

OK, jihad nowadays means a holy Muslim war against infidels. This is what's in the dictionary, this meaning is what's implied in the media. Although jihad *CAN* mean this, jihad means a struggle, usually INTERNAL i.e. struggling with ourselves. This is the true meaning of jihad.

There are so many submitted entries with no text, I was wondering if the site did not work using Internet Explorer.

just around the corner
Click on the word for comments

Streets and walls and other such 3-dimensional constructs have corners which things may be reached by going around. Time is (for all practical intents) linear. Therefore, the holidays are NEVER "just around the corner"! Spring is NEVER "just around the corner"! One's birthday (anniversary thereof) is NEVER "just around the corner"!

Pirated word:
just great
Click on the word for comments

it really means that something is acceptable to the point where it surpasses expectations in a positive way. Now it has been bastardized to mean that something is not even close to being satifactory. in fact, afficianados of this term use it to exclaim that something is horribly wrong and offensive to the point of requiring apology! grrr!
