This is a personal method for making up words for things; you won’t find it in a dictionary. Feel free to use it, though; maybe someday you will!
There’s the -dooj suffix, which means “a familiar thing that should be around here somewhere, and that has such-and-so quality.” This is useful for asking questions like “Where’s the … the clickydooj?”
- clickydooj — TV remote
- stickydooj — roll of masking tape, wad of blue-tack, etc.
- pokeydooj — sharp tool, digging stick, etc.
- dogwalkydooj — leash
- scoopydooj — ice cream scoop
- pinchydoojes — tongs
(The variant spelling -doodge is also acceptable.)

fuboto Today I Learned•TIL that "aspirin" was actually originally a trademarked brand name owned by Bayer.English8·3 months agoYep, so named because it was a heroisch (heroic; strong) painkiller.
fuboto Ask Lemmy•Under communism, what incentive is there to pursue highly dangerous or specialized fields?22·3 months agoI was talking about Maoist and Stalinist dictatorships, not socialism.
“Communism” was the brand name that these dictatorships used for their artificially red-dyed flavor of fascist mass murder. This name was stolen from the original Communists, and falsely & deceptively used by the fascist mass-murderers. Neither Stalin nor Mao had any intention of ever living in a classless society. Like all fascist leaders, they demanded obedience beyond that accorded to feudal kings, and erected new forms of hierarchy and class for their servants to populate — while they murdered the common people in whose name they claimed to rule.
The “dictatorship of the dictator pretending to care about the proletariat” murdered the proletariat by millions.
However, when people today say “Communism” — as in the title of this post — they are often referring to those dictatorships, and not to the earlier Communism of Marx and Engels, whose name the fascists misappropriated.
Hence my response, which distinguished Maoist and Stalinist fascist dictatorships from the theoretical communism of Marx and Engels.
Do not bother making excuses for fascist mass-murderers. There are none.
Alas, language doesn’t work that way. Consider: newspapers used to refrain from printing swears literally. They’d write something like “——” or “[expletive]”, or they’d paraphrase. But then politicians got a lot more foul-mouthed, and newspapers had to start printing more swears just to report what the politicians said.
fuboto Ask Lemmy•Under communism, what incentive is there to pursue highly dangerous or specialized fields?421·3 months agoYeah, where the dangerous job was “hunt something so you don’t starve”, the motivation for doing the dangerous job is pretty obvious.
fuboto Ask Lemmy•Under communism, what incentive is there to pursue highly dangerous or specialized fields?678·3 months agoUnder Maoism or Stalinism, aka the dictatorship of the dictator pretending to act for the proletariat? You are ordered to do it, for your own good and the good of the Party. If you don’t follow orders, you just get shot; and your family is put in a prison camp, your children raped and beaten and forced to labor.
Under real stateless, classless communism? Nobody knows, because that hasn’t existed yet. Anyone claiming to know exactly how it might operate is talking out of their hat. Marx is pretty clear on that.
