how do you answer these dissusion question

 

Part 1: A slang term I would say is "You got Moss'd" and this all started by the future Hall of Famer Randy Moss. He use to embarrass his opponents by catching over them. 

Part 2: Connotation that I found interesting is the word "rat" it means a rodent but it is also means a betrayer, traitor, and selfish person. The reason I find it interesting because I always thought the word "snitch" meant betrayer or traitor.

 

Part 1: 

The first word that caught my attention was the article by Guy-Uriel Charles called "Stop Calling Quake Victims Looters". This term (looters) refers to rebels, lawless citizens and rioters that take or steal goods unlawfully. His article really made me think about how important it is to really understand the words and language we choose and why, when attempting to explain or identify someone or a situation. The word looter in all fairness was a bit harsh considering the circumstances of the earth quake. He also pointed out that most Haitians have strong strong convictions about ill gotten gain, which makes the use of that term even more displaced. The last thing I want to be label in a state of an emergency is a "looter", its all about Maslow's Hierarchy theory kicking in at that point (human needs).

 

Part 2:

I found it interesting that the word "home" could be viewed so broad by different individuals. When I think of the word home I never think of it being defined as, friction, violence or alienation as the book describes. This further opened my eyes to the importance of clarifying to my audience, how I want a word to be understood, but most importantly they should know, what I don't mean by it. Clear communication is key to making a point.

 

Part 1: The first word that caught my attention was the term (Dope) because, it had a different meaning to how our generation uses it now. Dope was used back in the earlier years referring to marijuana, a common drug nothing more. The term Dope now means, how awesome or sick, sick being another word to mean something is cool or rad. Dope is used here and there, it's more common to hear in high school rather than outside of school.Part 2: A connotation that I found interesting but, also annoying when being called is the word "Rat". Rat is the common name of a larger mouse, a rodent but, it can also mean a traitor, bad or selfish person, or something conniving. I found this word interesting because, I hear the use of animal names a lot but, never rat. For example, I hear you sly dog, people take the behavior of animals and make them in to indirect words that avoid calling 

 

Part 1: I use to use the word "straight" for somethings that I like. For example "That dress looks straight.". Straight could also mean something that is not curved or bent or a person can be straight. How i am feeling today can be straight. It all depends on how I use it in a sentence.

Part 2: My most hated cliche is "opposites attract". I do not understand how if you guys do not like none of the same things. I would think you would attract to someone who is similar to you. I never understood that saying.
