    Boo and yay words

    There are words you can sprinkle in your speech or writing that act as applaus or boo lights and can be used nearly without regard to content to create such an affect in the audience. Each poster think of one of each and post them.

    I'll start:
    Democratically
    Discrimnatory
    Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”
    The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.
    The simple suggestion of a true change scandalizes and terrifies modern man. -Nicolás Gómez Dávila

    I use discriminatory (and related words) in a positive sense more often than a negative sense.

        or "this will prove to be an excellent discriminant".

        And I believe it's "discriminating taste"

          you're right. It is discriminating taste...

          I knew it didn't sound quite right.

            I'm not saying this is universal, but in which context does the general public usually hear this word? Anyhow these are just OP suggestions.

            I however concede your point that among more educated people its neutral. I was hoping other people will come up with new & better ideas for such words and perhaps discuss the concept of such words.

            Violently

              Bush Nay

              Clinton Yay
              Palin Nay

              Just sprinkle the word into any argument and people will agree with you. eg

              I like dijon mustard, and so does Obama. etc
