Definitionism

The tendency to excessively define (and occasionally thereby create) things, so as to bring them under control and demonstrate one's superior understanding of the world.

With apologies to D Coupland.

this raises a number of fully deep questions...
1. By engaging in the act of creating, is a definitionist really a god?
2. Is the real creationism being taught in our schools?
3. What happened to dorothy's shoes after the Wizard of Oz?
4. Do they work for anyone or just dorothy ('cause you could save some serious cash by only buying one way flights)?
5. Could the real slim shady please stand up?
