Isms

Last modified March 20, 2007 | Revision 8

The quickest way to turn something into a ‘movement’ (and, therefore, to make some people love it and others hate it) is to tack an -ism or -ist on to the end. It also has the benefit of making things seem vaguely grubby.

  • Fundamentalism

  • Liberalism

  • Christianism

  • Evangelicalism

  • Ismism (okay, I made that one up).

  • Cynicism (the best kind of Ism)

  • Schismism? fraser

  • Sarca\bism

  • Wikism? — nato
