Dementia's Dictionary

Social Justice. /`sosh~ul `just~iss/ Noun. (Orig. Just Socialist. From L. Justicia, to make right, i.e., fork it over, and Socialus, taxpayer, i.e, Cracker.)
1. The virtuous-sounding objective, perpetually demanded but never deemed achieved, wherein those who expend the greatest legitimate professional effort are extorted of the funds intended for the purchase of a bottle of Sauterne and a block of Gruyere - some of which is then provided to others for the procurement of a case of Mickey's Big Mouth, a bag of Doritos, and a vote.  Variations of this phenomenon also apply to municipal entities responsible for the naming of streets, institutions of higher learning, and the United States of America.
