Your Definition
1. v. (eg. prostitutively semanticize) To throw around a term or concept until it loses all meaning. 2. n. Use of a term or concept so as to misrepresent oneself as embodying the concept or term. Phony auto-ennobling. 3. v. To attempt a meme-seed inception by repetition and amplification (usually through the distributive media). 4. n. Overuse or abuse of terms or concepts. Most commonly used by politicians to forward a particular agenda or get a particular candidate elected. But also used quite heavily in religion. Distinguishes itself from outright attention-whoring usually by its subtlety or its assumption of the self-evidence of the virtuosity of its terms or concepts.
