The term "Islamofascism" is a controversial political epithet used to describe certain variants of Islamism, which it has been suggested have fascist or totalitarian aspects.
A more common and less loaded term for these politicized strains of Islam, which seek to replace secular governments in Muslim countries with Sharia law, is Islamist.
Supporters of the term Islamofascism contend that the fusion of oil wealth together with the ideology of totalitarian theocracy espoused by these govenments is consistent with the definition of fascism.

Some individuals may prefer the term survivor, while others may feel that the use of victim is an appropriate word to describe their status in the aftermath of violent or repeated victimization.
In that regard, it is important to note that many acts of criminal violence committed against vulnerable individuals, such as children, the elderly, and individuals with disabilities, are referred to as forms of abuse.
While the behavior is certainly abusive, using the term abuse instead of violence can serve to minimize the severity of the crime against the victim.

The highly loaded term "culture war" generally refers to conflict, within U.S. society and politics, between religion-oriented conservatives and emerging humanist values.
The term carries echoes of the Kulturkampf (literally, "culture struggle" or "culture fight"), largely against Catholicism on behalf of the Evangelische Kirche (literally, "Evangelical Church", more familiarly, the state Lutheran church), in the 1800s German Empire under Chancellor Count Bismark.
It commonly carries with it the unspoken assumption that existing values and/or values favored by the speaker are under attack by the adherents of "un-American" cultures.

Western, in this case, is a loaded term.
As a New Yorker born and bred, using the conventional resources of piano, strings and orchestras, Feldman the composer, raconteur and bon viveur certainly qualifies.
Feldman was as decisively influenced by the non-linear, non-developmental nature of much non-Western art (the patterned infinity of Persian carpets is one crucial example) as he was by the super-cooled Expressionism and aphoristic intensity of Webern’s music — illustrated wittily by the Six tiny Bagatelles performed as a prelude.

 Loaded (language) : Loaded term
A language construct, such as a word or a question[?], is said to be loaded if it imports meaning or implications beyond its denotation.
Questions, on the other hand, are usually said to be loaded because they make a presupposition.
Some exaggerated examples can be quite comical, for example, the question "Do you still cheat on your taxes?" makes the presupposition that the subject of the question at one time did cheat on his/her taxes.

The term "aft loaded" refers to where the lift force acts on a wing or airfoil.
If we were to look at a side profile of a wing (called an airfoil), we could plot the distribution of the pressure acting over the shape, a quantity directly related to the lift.
We therefore say that the supercritical airfoil is "aft-loaded" because the lift force is more significantly "loaded" onto the aft portion of the shape.

At this point, I should point out that the term "fully-loaded" is redundant, since if something is loaded, it can usually assumed to be full, and if something is full, it can usually assumed to be loaded.

In college terms, a "full load" is 15 or more hours per semester.
