User:Dpleibovitz/sandbox/List of nothings

Nothing literally means "no thing". This is a list of words and phrases that have two things in common. Firstly, they indicate a lack of something (or a prohibition against something), i.e., a nothing in some dimension, thereby being categorized in Category:Nothing. Secondly, they are already used in titles within Wikipedia, so this list provides a home for their categorized redirects. In some cases, the nothing is implied to everyone else.

This is not an empty list, nor a set of meaningless "sweet nothings". It is about words such as meaningless that indicate a lack of something - of having nothing in some dimension. Many of these can be used as pejoratives.

When used pejoratively, many are subjective and relative to the social context of the speaker, while their positive conterparts, are objective about the person, e.g., stubborn=wont listen to me; persistent=in all endevours; boring in a social situation; methodical in his work

While some of these words can have multiple definitions, this list merges their definitions related to nothingness.

Quotes are for pejorative uses within science - a social enterprise like any other.

Use the pejorative lexeme (adjective?) where possible, e.g., lacking rather than lack
