An amusing coinage to come out of the RPG community (at least, that’s where I think it was coined) is “badwrongfun” (always written as one word). This represents the idea that the fun you are having is ideologically unsound – it is exactly the same idea as political correctness, i.e. fun that is politically incorrect is badwrongfun.
\nIn specific, “badwrongfun” is often used to deride attempts to analyse and define the RPG field. Such attempts invariably leave some people feeling like they are being disparaged, and they proudly own their badwrongfun to mock the theorists. (I will spare you further details – RPG theory is not something I would lightly inflict upon good people such as you, readers.) It is also now used tongue-in-cheek to reference games and non-game entertainments that are can be seen as improper – unwholesome movies, for example, are always “badwrongfun” (assuming they are fun at all).
\nEven though this term is often used in high seriousness, which I find exasperating in the extreme, it still pleases me as a coinage. Its the overload of negativity that does it, the scold’s indulgent delight in taking the moral high ground which only undermines itself. It’s a great little phrase.
\nI wonder, what pleases you among the coinages and phrases that have cropped up in your fields of interest?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
