Talk:FOEPATCHISM

Use a shorter term

FOEPATCHISM is a mouthful and sounds alien, and when the abbreviation is explained it's just too long. I suggest a shorter, single word is used. You don't need to get all the terms.

I suggest MOIST for Management that's Open, Inclusive, Social, and Transparent. An alternative would be IMPACT, although that isn't as funny a term. And we need to think about how the term is used in a sentence. "We need more MOIST," for example. In the case of IMPACT it would be "we should have IMPACT".

Also, think about which of the terms are essential. I like Fair, Open, Ethical, and Inclusive but you can't make good words with only those letters. Possibly we can use FINE where we drop 'open' and think of a new word for N. This is short enough for the ability to catch on, and it's a good word with a positive vibe. It doesn't feel forced at all. Usage example: "our management should be FINE."

By the way, I like using Inclusive in this context because it's reclaiming a word that's been appropriated by the woke. For another example of reclamation see how MetaGer brands itself as diverse, which I've covered here.

MOIST is funny.

But Foe Patch is an ideology too - thus "Ism" is apt for fixing enemy tyranny.

The whole thing is a slippery slope - How do you define "fair" or any other term?

The repetition of ideas helps I think to push what is obviously opposite to various top-down forms of control.

Moist and fine are already words. Foepatchism is a new word and a portmanteau that makes sense. From your fine post, "The core of this trick is to put two words together."
