Neocrap Is The Same Old Shit Warmed Over

Neo.  It means new.  That is an adjective.  In use it attaches to a chosen word to create a new single word.  Not a new way of changing language as it culturally evolves.  For example; neophyte is a new to something person.  Literally it is a plant that grows or does something else in a new way.  Somehow neophyte entered the cultural language to become a new single word.  The origin does not really matter except academically. 

Neo has become a popular attachment modifier to create new words.  Neoliberal, neoconservative, or as a stepping stone to a new single word like this; neo-economics.

Neoshit is the same old shit.  Perhaps for the sake of accuracy it is warmed over shit.

New words and phrases may creap into the cultural lexicon via popular use among the public as it likes  to use a single word in place of what may have been two words or a phrase.  That is cultural language evolution initiated by social preference.  Media is the origin of many such words.  We like them, adopt them, use them.  They become established in independent meaning detatching from their original use and meaning but we know what they mean in current use.

When media imposes the use of a neoword for the purpose of propaganda that is a dangerous thing because it literally intends to hide the fact (in plain sight!) that the neoword is just the same old warmed over ship dressed up as something really new.  How gullible we are.

Neoanything is the same old shit warmed over.  I will never use any modern neo word again.  I will look at it but say an write:  New (old word).  I will seek an app that will automatically convert any written or spoken neoword to to this form and also automatically adding this in parenthesis just to remind me that someone is trying to pull the wool over my eyes by using neosomething as one word:  They really mean the same old shit warmed over.  Whatever else they say or write is suspect as propaganda.

Media is being manipulated to sell neoshit propaganda.  It is the same old shit under a new name but the public eats it up thinking it is something new and better.  Excellent marketing.  The public has lost control over the public language by voting for what it wants introduced to the lexicon by popular acclaim.  We are using new words created by those that seek to manipulate the language with new words and phrases for the same old shit "quantitative easing".   

Here is a neoword that looks like it was created by the people, not the press.
