Many common words and phrases have both a literal, or descriptive meaning that refers to the way things are, and an emotive meaning that expresses some (positive or negative) feeling about them.
Negative emotive words are best omitted from polite & friendly discussion & debate.
A very abbreviated list of emotionally charged words;
- Liberal
- Conservative
- Socialist
- Fascist
- All pejorative names for races, sexual preference, ethnic groups, or religions
- All personal characterizations (stupid, foolish etc)
- Hate
- You is often received as an accusatory word
