A Dictionary of words and phrases used by Dr Shantanu Panigrahi ...

The great thing about English Language is its versatility that enables word development in a way that is logical. However, people have often taken issue with me saying that I construct words and use words without reference to a standard dictionary so that it confuses them on what I am conveying. I have used words such as atheotheism, humaneism and humanimalism and phrases like ?genetic inability? that require a standard explanation and definition. I am conveying specific meanings as I think about what I am saying. My words are very special to my way of thinking. I am therefore acting on a?suggestion from Aupmanyav that I should open a Dictionary of the terms that I use for easy reference. Further, Peez (a Professor of Biology in Canada) posting at Secular Cafe introduced his own of ?humanitoidista? and then ?huwomaneism? into the discussion (http://secularcafe.org/showthread.php?t=22654),? wherein I pointed it out to him that one could not construct just words willy nally. There has to be meaning and a sound basis and rules for the construction of new words. I adhere to good rules. For example, with regard to his comments I specifically pointed out to him that the letters ?hu? in human is not an admissible (ie meaningful) prefix on the word ?man? in terms of the development of either of the words ?human? and ?humane?. Human and humane are fully formed and independent words. So is woman. These lend themselves to the suffix ?ism? that I have applied to denote the philosophy implied by each word. One can have therefore have womanism to describe the philosophy of ?womanhood?. In my dictionary and grammar of English language construction, there is no prefix rule allowing the attachment of the letters ?hu? to ?woman? or ?womane? or ?womaneism?.

In light of these arguments I have started this blog to summarise the meaning of?existing words that I have used recently in a special way or those that I have modified and constructed to give a new meaning to. I will list these alphabetically.

LIST OF WORDS AND PHRASES AS DEFINED BY DR SHANTANU PANIGRAHI

altruism: as the opposing political theory to fitnessism for the?social development of the human species.

atheotheism: the outlook and practice?that one has not seen any evidence of God in ones life and so living like an atheist but who has not ruled out the expectation that there?is?a God that science will uncover one day.

(ii) as implied by the phrase, ?where is your sense of humanity?, to mean that element of our mental constitution which elevates us to a higher level of living beings than the other animals in the rest of the animal kingdom. This meaning of humanity consists of a spectrum of mental constitution from humaneity and humanimality as the two
