	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Pejorative political slogan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		A pejorative political slogan is a meme that uses a label to encapsulate the object's belief, or pejorative slang used for political purposes.
		Note that labeling a political slogan "pejorative" is not necessarily a comment on its inherent truth or falsity, though using "pejorative" to describe a slogan almost always denotes an opinion that it is primarily an attack.
		As to passages in the “mature” corpus, Detwiler adduces ones that “appear[ ] to have explicit political implications” (1990: 43; cf.

	Pejorative - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The adjective pejorative is synonymous with derogatory and dyslogistic (noun: dyslogism) (antonyms: meliorative, eulogistic, noun eulogism).
		Although pejorative (adj.) means much the same thing as disparaging, the latter term may be applied to a look or gesture as well as to spoken language— in the evocative language of gesture, it may not be easy to distinguish a disparaging gesture from a dismissive or merely skeptical one, however.
		Pejorative expressions that are not dyslogisms may also be used in a non-pejorative way, however, and determining the intent of the speaker is problematic— as with any implied meaning.

	List of pejorative political puns - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This is a list of some pejorative political puns and epithets.
		Malcolm the Tenth: Term commonly used by Rush Limbaugh, suggesting that the X is a Roman numeral indicating that he is the descendent of a "Malcolm IX", rather than a placeholder for the (unknown) African surname which was taken from his ancestors when they became slaves--one of Malcolm X's stated reasons for changing his name.
		The Iron Lady: a term originating in Soviet propaganda to suggest she was confrontational during the Cold War, but later applied to Thatcher generally; Thatcher was reputed to have adopted the term and to have considered it as a badge of honour (and thus, she attempted to transform it from a pejorative to a compliment).

	Democrat In Name Only - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The term was created as an analogous opposite to the acronym RINO (Republican In Name Only), which is far more commonly used and refers to more liberal members of the United States Republican Party.
		The two acronyms are, at the same time, puns on the popular English-language shortenings of the words rhinoceros and dinosaur.
		Both terms are used by more ideological (politically speaking) members of either party to challenge fellow party members for their maverick or moderate positions.

	Producing Open Source Software
		Without listing every project and every license, it's safe to say that by the late 1980's, there was a lot of free software available under a wide variety of licenses.
		Even explicitly political organizations like the Debian project, whose goal is to offer a 100% free (that is, "free as in freedom") computing environment, are fairly relaxed about integrating with non-free code and cooperating with programmers who don't share exactly the same goals.
		If the pun is particularly compelling and memorable, it may still be worth it; just keep in mind that many people seeing the name will not hear it in their head the way a native speaker would.

		Barney Hoskyns, however, says the term "beatniks" was orignally coined by fl jazz musicians as a pejorative term for the white hangers-on around the jazz music scene (Barney Hoskyns 37).
		A generic term, originally pejorative, but later a source of pride, used to denote young people attracted to or participating in the countercultural scene evolving in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district during the 1960s and early 1970s.
		The term "hippie" possibly originated during the Beat Movement when it was used by fl jazz musicians to denote what they considered "junior-grade hipsters," the young middle-class, generally white individuals coopting their music as part of the evolving Beat scene in New York's East Village and San Francisco's North Beach.

		This conference aims to expose participants from various fields and the general academic community to the wide range of uses and interpretations -literary, political, mystical, artistic, linguistic, etc.- for which alphabets and their component letters have been marshaled.
		These examples of punning lie at very the base of so much Jewish exegesis, that it can be difficult to distinguish between contemporary methodologies.

	Herodotus' Conception of Foreign Languages (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		If we take the list of loan words from the Near East compiled by Thomas Braun, Herodotus emerges as including in his Histories all but one of the archaic near-eastern loan words,[30] and a substantial proportion, five out of eighteen, of those words Braun classes as classical loan words.
		The comparison of Braun's list with Herodotus, however, only strengthens the impression drawn from the discrepancy between his knowledge of archaic and of classical loan words that Herodotus' knowledge of foreign words is largely or exclusively second-hand, and that it is drawn from Greek sources.
		It is this desire to systematise language, for example, that leads him to the false conclusion that all Persian names end in the letter sigma (1.139), or to the true observation that the names of all Greek festivals end in the letter alpha (1.148.2).

		Politics is an activity in all academic departments.

		By the 15th century, a group of people who ate together was also known as a "mess," and it is this sense that persists in the "mess halls" of today's military.
