3. v. to attempt a meme-seed inception by repet-tion and amplification (usually through the distributive media).
4. n. overuse or abuse of terms or concepts.
most commonly used by politicians to forward a particular agenda or get a particular candidate elected. but also used quite heavily in religion.

alex: did you see that tea party rally? i have never seen such an obscene spectacle of prost-tutive semanticization in my entire life.
sarah: i know, right? i went to it as a gag and i didn’t take away anything meaningful at all from it. the word ‘freedom’ was thrown around so much, i don’t know what it means anymore! and all those references to hitler! why does everybody do that every time they encounter someone they don’t like?
