Faragism

[barry1010]

Can anyone tell me exactly what this means?

[Khandro]

Fighting for something you believe in ?

[barry1010]

Is it?

[ichkeria]

It’s whatever you want it to be :-)

[Mozz71]

A new word some on here use when they don't get their own way?

[Gromit]

Depends how it is used.

A lie can be a faragism. He told a lot of untruths, and anyone else doing the same can be liken to him.

Or

A hatred of Farage can be faragism as hatred of black people is racism.

Hope it doesn’t catch on. But people who bandy the equally naff word ‘wokeism’ will love it and use it incessantly.

[naomi24]

I saw that word for the first time on here this morning. Did an ABer make it up?

I assume it means being cancelled for holding the 'wrong', 'un-woke', opinions - as Farage was.

Gromit 'Woke' is a good word. It explains a lot.

From Wiktionary

"Faragism (uncountable)

(UK politics, informal) The ideology, practice, philosophy and politics espoused by British nationalist autonomist sovereigntist politician Nigel Farage, the UK Independence Party (UKIP), and, the Brexit Party."

The page has been around since 25.12.2020 so the word is not a recent creation.

I copied and pasted so apologies for the odd formatting...

[naomi24]

Thanks Corby.

....it's where an old bloke encourages young orphan boys to go out and pick pockets etc.

[Peter Pedant]

Fighting for something you believe in
no that is courage or duty

what about adhering to the ideas of the wisest man alive? foo!

made up word, meaning "lacking the quality woke" seems a bit er limp to me

ideas you have to adhere to - well Brexit is a VERY good thing in all its forms, including the awful N I deal
and crytocurrency governed by the Bank of England
( radio 4 yesterday) - yes he really is as mad as that
and only I know

[Peter Pedant]

A lie can be a faragism. He told a lot of untruths,
o god
so Blessed Boris is a faragist = liar?
yes I wd subscribe to such an idea

[gulliver1]

Think it's a spin off from Johnsonism.

[vulcan42]

It doesn't seem to matter what is being discussed, gullivers obsession with Boris Johnson continues unabated.

its clear to see he is very old although he acts and writes like a child

[barry1010]

I am none the wiser - it is either a liar or somebody who stands up for what they believe in, apparently.

What is wrong with using traditional words with clear meanings referenced in an English dictionary, in the correct order to make a point?

[bazwillrun]

but mainly used in a derogatory way...

[bobbinwales]

someone used it here to talk about censorship of views... I think they meant Couttsism

[Peter Pedant]

Bazza:
its clear to see he is very old although he acts and writes like a child

a brexit deal like an oven ready chicken?
£350 m a week to the NHS
All covid requirements were strictly adhered but I cannot speak for others

yes I have noticed Boris is a stranger to truth just like a child ( oi didernt!)

oh sozza sozza you were talking about Hymie
scuzi - sozza !

[Peter Pedant]

couttsism is a new word innit
can I suggest "doing something for X reason when in fact you are doing it for Y reason"

covered by dissembling, or disingenuous
