![]() How many times must we repeat it? Say it again, once more with feeling – activism is not a crime. The BCPO Chief has put out a statement in support of Magalong, and if the comments are anything to go by, the actual locals of Baguio are in support of their mayor. And he has even been supportive of the NTF-ELCAC, the very people that are trying to besmirch his name.Īt least people are rallying behind the man. Longer, I would presume, than any of the unspeakables that brand him traitor to the country. The man has a long track record of service both in general and against the communist insurgency. American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fifth Edition. Latin ad, to + nauseam, accusative of nausea, sickness. ![]() To a disgusting or ridiculous degree to the point of nausea. It isn’t as if Magalong isn’t aware of this. ad nauseam (redirected from Argumentum ad infinitum) Also found in: Thesaurus, Medical. ![]() What is not allowed is being part of the active communist insurgency and bringing harm to the people of the Philippines. Activism, criticism of the government, is not communist. Since they continue to reiterate ad nauseam, ad infinitum that activism is communist, let us reiterate that no, it in fact is not. He has done absolutely nothing to link him with the communist terrorist element, and all he is doing is protecting the rights of the people under his jurisdiction as he (expletive) should as part of his duty. Let me reiterate this – inasmuch as I am inclined to disagree with the government in general (this too is not communist-terrorist in nature), I am on Magalong’s side here. This has happened before.Īs always, they are trying to convince the mass public that Magalong is of the communist terrorist element due to his stance on activism being, you know, activism and not inherently a crime or communist in nature and protecting the youth in particular who partake in student activism. It should be obvious why I am reluctant to give this any more column space than I already have – we have discussed this matter over and over and over ad nauseam, ad infinitum.Īs always, the culprit is local disinformation purveyor SMNI, with Quiboloy, Badoy, and “Ka Eric” being the ones pointing red fingers at Magalong. One of the headlines of this week is Baguio Mayor Benjamin Magalong being red-tagged once more.

Special thanks to the contributors of the open-source code that was used in this project: Elastic Search, WordNet, and note that Reverse Dictionary uses third party scripts (such as Google Analytics and advertisements) which use cookies. The definitions are sourced from the famous and open-source WordNet database, so a huge thanks to the many contributors for creating such an awesome free resource. In case you didn't notice, you can click on words in the search results and you'll be presented with the definition of that word (if available). For those interested, I also developed Describing Words which helps you find adjectives and interesting descriptors for things (e.g. So this project, Reverse Dictionary, is meant to go hand-in-hand with Related Words to act as a word-finding and brainstorming toolset. That project is closer to a thesaurus in the sense that it returns synonyms for a word (or short phrase) query, but it also returns many broadly related words that aren't included in thesauri. I made this tool after working on Related Words which is a very similar tool, except it uses a bunch of algorithms and multiple databases to find similar words to a search query. So in a sense, this tool is a "search engine for words", or a sentence to word converter. It acts a lot like a thesaurus except that it allows you to search with a definition, rather than a single word. The engine has indexed several million definitions so far, and at this stage it's starting to give consistently good results (though it may return weird results sometimes). ![]() For example, if you type something like "longing for a time in the past", then the engine will return "nostalgia". It simply looks through tonnes of dictionary definitions and grabs the ones that most closely match your search query. The way Reverse Dictionary works is pretty simple.
