#PINKOSENSITIVISM

Pinkosensitivism as Neologism

Pinkosensitivism is a new word coined especially for an user affected by the color pink, and is meaningless otherwise. It's a combination of two existing words pink, sensitive and a suffix -ism which in general describes the audience and the goal of the project.

Pink - Pale red color that is named after a flower of the same name. Pink is the color most often associated with charm, politeness, sensitivity, tenderness, sweetness, childhood, femininity and the romantic.

Sensitive - Adjective which derives from Middle French sensitif, and describes having the faculty of sensation, pertaining to the senses. Responsive to stimuli.

-ism - Suffix in many English words, originally derived from the Ancient Greek suffix -ισμός (-ismós). It is often used in philosophy to define specific ideologies, and, as such, at times it is used as a noun when referring to a broad range of ideologies in a general sense.
