Here is a word I would never use. "genialize" said to mean" cause to be marked by
sympathetic cheerfullness, warmth and firiendliness." Whoever coined that one has
all their taste in their mouth.

Gentrification is another stinker:

" Gentrification means different things depending upon your skin color and your political beliefs.

Minority Definition: Gentrification means that more financially able "non-minorities" are moving into your
neighborhood and are improving their properties. Since the improved properties have a higher value, this also means that the
local authorities will raise your property taxes to the point where you will no longer be able to afford to live there. But cheer
up! Since you are on the government's "preferred minority/color" list there are a large number of tax-payer supported
programs which will help you "buy back" into your old neighborhood.

Non-Minority, Poor White Definition: If you are a lower-income NON-minority, gentrification means that
wealthier whites have begun moving in and improving their properties. Your property taxes will be raised to the point that you
will no longer be able to afford to live there, and you will be forced to flee to suburban locations even further from your work
opportunities. But since you are defined as "white" the government will NOT make any tax dollars available to assist you in
holding on to your home in the "gentrified" neighborhood".

Summary: If your are a minority, the government defines gentrification as "bad" -- especially if it means that more
"whites" are moving into your neighborhood. But if you are "white", the government defines gentrification as "good" as long
as it means that you have to leave the neighborhood so that more minorities can live there."
