The natural conclusion from hence is, that in the classical authors, the expression, the sweetness of the numbers, occasioned by a musical placing of words, constitute a great part of their beauties; whereas, in the sacred writings, they consist more in the greatness of the things themselves than in the words and expressions.
Such objects become the matter of Science, and words indeed are used to express them, but such words are rather symbols than language, and however many we use, and however we may perpetuate them by writing, we never could make any kind of literature out of them, or call them by that name.

The word used for household in every case of this kind is the regular one where a man's own children are in question, ozxoc; and the apostle seems to put these households in a class distinct from those baptized as believers, and so naturally coming into the assembly.

 Household Words: Bloomers, sucker, bombshell, scab, nigger, cyber by Stephanie A. Smith | PopMatters Book Review
The meaning of a word can seem like a straightforward thing, but a word is in fact a battleground on which opposing ideologies clash, with the status and reputation of various groups -- women, racial groups, social classes -- at stake.
That premise, a hallmark of postmodernist theories that hold reality to be primarily constructed by language use, is the basis for English professor Stephanie A. Smith's study of six individual words coined in America and, in her estimation, redolent of currents in American history: bloomers, sucker, bombshell, scab, nigger, and cyber.
Though she must occasionally loop back to defend her methodology and argue for the word's agency in affecting the history its changing meaning merely recorded, the chapter nonetheless affords readers a tangible way of conceptualizing how feminism is resisted at the level of word usage.
