I consider myself an artist, which is, like, the most played term, but I believe it.

Be flexible in getting to those goals, but if you do not have goals, you will not achieve them.

I think it is very sad that ‘sitcom’ has become a pejorative term.

By the time a second term rolls around, the illusions about a president have largely evaporated.
I want to make ‘Broadway’ a word that doesn’t have pejorative connotation. I don’t want ‘musical theater’ to be a dismissive term. I want it to be something that people can be proud of, that people can say, ‘Look at the possibilities.’

But a girl of seventeen is not always thinking of books, especially in the Oxford summer term.

I always thought ‘chick lit’ meant third-person contemporary funny novels, dealing with issues of the day. I mean, it’s not the ideal term; when I’m asked to describe what I do, I say I write romantic comedies, cause that’s what I feel they are. But I’m quite pragmatic.
I like playing sport, and I like doing physical stuff. I like hiking and I like climbing and I like playing sport. I do a lot.

At the end of their first years, there are few people who would have predicted that Truman would be elected in 1948 or that Reagan would get a second term. It’s always premature to make some kind of categorical judgment after the first year in office.

You create your own material to try to get it out there because a lot of people are multi-hyphenates, to use the corporate term. You’re creating stuff to be in in order to showcase all your talents.

I don’t like accidental success. It’s what Bill Gates calls ‘random,’ a term he uses with the opposite of respect.

For the entire four years of the greatest Presidential term of our lifetime, Democrats led by Speaker Pelosi and radical Socialists in her party attempted coup after coup against President Donald Trump.
I have problems with this very extreme form of capitalism where the pendulum has swung so far in one direction, where the focus is completely on the short term, and no one is thinking about the consequences.
Also minimalism is a term that all of us who share so little in common and who are lumped together as minimalists are not terribly happy with.
The term stigma and its synonyms conceal a double perspective: does the stigmatized individual assume his differentness is known about already or is evident on the spot, or does he assume it is neither known about by those present nor immediately perceivable by them?
I enjoy fashion and taking the effort to present myself well, and I’m glad that a lot of people refer to me as a ‘Hijabster’. I’m not the greatest fan of the term, but I think girls everywhere should be confident in their own skin and be inspired to look and feel good inside and out.
I knew the term Stepford Wife, and I knew what that meant. I never read the book, and I think before I started filming I watched the movie. I thought it was very dated.
Too many investors overvalue companies in the near term while undervaluing them in the long term.
There’s no such thing as The Method. The term ‘method-acting’ is so much nonsense. There are many methods, many techniques.
The federal government has never created one job that is sustainable long term. It creates government project work but not creating real work where people are.
My grandma would say if someone else calls you a hillbilly, you might need to punch them in the nose. But if we call ourselves hillbillies, it’s a sort of a term of endearment, something that we have co-opted.
So I’m not a Southern writer in the commonly held sense of the term, like Faulkner or Eudora Welty, who took the South for their entire literary environment and subject matter.
‘Madea’ is a Southern term. It’s short for ‘mother dear.’ So there are a lot of Madeas out there.
In the long term, Greece is an important market for us.
I wrote a great deal about the Civil Rights Movement when I was writing for ‘The Nation’ in the ’60s, and also for Esquire magazine. Reading the biography of Coffin, it just reminded me that in those days, when you saw the term ‘Christian,’ it usually meant people for civil rights and for justice.
I was running for mayor of Syracuse – the first woman to run for mayor in our city, or in New York, and one of the first in the United States. I was known for my strong conservation plank. In 1969, the term ‘conservation’ was hardly on the tip of every citizen’s tongue.
Great risks come in long term, tremendously assiduous, very courageous study.
The truth we are teaching is that every contribution in the history of the planet came from blonde people. It’s not true, and it’s destructive, and people are getting killed long term as a result. People don’t believe that we deserve it.
A romance is a courtship story. In the 19th century, the definition of the romance genre was an escape from daily life that included adventure and love and battle. But in the 20th century, that term changed, and now it’s deemed only a love story, specifically a courtship story.
We were postwar middle-class white kids living in the slipstream of the greatest per-capita rise in income in the history of Western civilization; we were ‘teen-agers’ – a term, coined in 1941, that was in common usage a decade later – a new, recognizable franchise. We had money, mobility, and problems all our own.
It is absolutely unacceptable to think that in the last year of the president’s term, that he should stop doing his job, and he won’t.
It’s that preparation that goes into each week. We have a term: ‘Trust your training, trust your teammate, and trust yourself.’
A1 Great Britain has to look at the longer term.
The term ‘genre’ eventually becomes pejorative because you’re referring to something that’s so codified and ritualised that it ceases to have the power and meaning it had when it first started.
Broke is a Hollywood term!
I am one day going to be working openly in the motion picture industry. When that day comes, I swear to you that I will never sign a term contract with any major studio.
When you say that you write romantic fiction, there are a lot of people who have an image in their mind of the ‘bodice ripper.’ It’s the one term that most romantic fiction writers absolutely hate because it has no bearing on what people are writing.
When I came home after my statutory term as surgeon general, I just resumed my life here in southern Arizona. Teaching at the university; my law enforcement career. Sitting on some boards. All the things I did before.
I’m inspired by the example of Prime Minister Abe, who overcame many challenges after his first term as prime minister to successfully return to the highest office in Japan six years later, and is now hopefully leading Japan in an extremely promising direction.
Hillary Clinton essentially offers a third Obama term. And the role is perfect for her. She championed ‘Obamacare’ because years earlier she had all but invented it.
Authors will make far more on those ebooks through direct sales than publishers are offering. There is no incentive for authors to sell those rights to traditional publishers which means, in the fairly short term, publishers run out of material to sell.
When I went to medical school, the term ‘digital’ applied only to rectal exams.
It’s a special person – and personality – who can lead a start-up to soaring success and sustain that success for the long term. Apple co-founder Steve Jobs and Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg are star examples.
Address these environmental issues and you will address every issue known to man. And we keep dabbling in things that aren’t really that important in the long term.
In business, every phase of things counts. Companies that just yell out a low price today to win business aren’t going to make money in the long term.
I don’t believe in that term ‘self-made’ – not to be offensive, but I believe everything happens for a reason, every single person you meet. Even if it’s one single person giving you advice, that person helped you get to where you’re at today.
We don’t see that the Taliban ultimately can succeed, and it’s a combination both of what the international community can do to support Afghanistan, not just in the short term, but over the long term.
You can’t apply the term ‘lucrative’ to dancing, but it does earn me a decent living.
Some of the newer folks in the industry, I’m not sure they are familiar with the term acting. They don’t understand what it means to play a character rather than just be a personality.
The real harm of term extension comes not from these famous works. The real harm is to the works that are not famous, not commercially exploited, and no longer available as a result.
Let’s just start with the word ‘diva.’ It is obviously a sexist slight – a term that is only applied to women, almost always in a derogatory way. It’s usually applied to women who are viewed as overly ambitious. It is applied to demanding women, to women who follow their own path.
Economic growth is necessary to keep the promise – enormously important to individual Americans – that each generation will have the opportunity to become more prosperous than the preceding one, the popular term for which is ‘the American dream.’
President Obama’s first term in office has been better for intentions than for actual changes in planning and policy. I do believe, and he has several things to this effect, that he would like to provide universal preschool or at least far more preschool for our children.
It is our job, as members of parliament, to legislate with an eye to the long term future, to look over the horizon beyond the next election and ensure that as far as we can what we do today will make Australia a better place, a safer place, for future generations to live in.
I believe that the presidential term should be limited.
Because terms limits are so popular, the interest of a member of Congress in staying in office would be congruent with supporting my term limits joint resolution.
The fastest way to get kicked out of a venture capitalist’s office is to say that you want to build a business that grows steadily, focuses on employees, and creates wealth over the long term. Entrepreneurs with such ambitions are considered pariahs.
America is inundated with polls. We need a term for being swamped with polls. I would say ‘poll-arized,’ but that’s already in use to describe our political divisions.
I call on the Australian Government to set out the conditions upon which they will provide a taxpayer funded backing for wholesale term funding for Australian deposit taking institutions. I call on the Government it make clear the conditions upon which taxpayer funds will be used in this way.
The Russians continue to say that they’ll still go after terrorists, but that’s a very elastic term. They’re going after anybody they want. I don’t trust them.
Doing nothing and shrinking spending may save us public money in the short term but could cost us a great deal more over time as the recession takes hold for much longer.
The HoLee model was the first term structure model. I remember reading their paper soon after it was published and as it was fairly different from many of the other papers that I had read, I had to read it quite a few times. I realized that it was a really important paper.
Art indeed is a term referring to the social source and to the social utility of creative acts.
So, when the discussion about not using the term feminist came up at a conference workshop, I couldn’t believe it. The more I listened, the more I felt the need to express my passion about my identity as a feminist.
Nine in the box… that’s a football term.
Marriage equality is a term so ridiculous on its face that when you hear it mentioned, you would think you were in Riyadh. Years from now, perhaps we can lose the equality part, the same-sex part and call it what it is – marriage.
At a certain point, particularly in his third term, Mayor Bloomberg lost touch with the people he was serving.
I believe that Bill Clinton’s second term will be good for business… my business!
You need a commitment which is long term and a commitment to leadership, because that’s the only way you build excellence.
I find the workload of what I do sufficiently great that when the term of court starts, I undergo a sort of annual intellectual lobotomy.
Experience demands that man is the only animal which devours his own kind, for I can apply no milder term to the general prey of the rich on the poor.
I made three or four different fonts during ‘Short Term 12’ -‘ it was how I’d calm my mind between scenes. I have graph paper and gel pens, and I would do the alphabet: just do ‘a’ over and over again until I got it perfect and then go to ‘b’ and then ‘c’.
I have never considered myself a prodigy. Others have used that term, but I never bought in to it.
I thank the voters of Upstate N.Y. for this privilege to serve and pledge to continue to work tirelessly on their behalf in this final term.
I usually say Latina, Mexican-American or American Mexican, and in certain contexts, Chicana, depending on whether my audience understands the term or not.
I hate the term ‘black’ because it doesn’t bring to life who we are as a people. The term ‘black’ has more negative synonyms than the term white.
It’s passing strange that Obama, carried to a second term by women, blacks and Latinos, chooses to give away the plumiest Cabinet and White House jobs to white dudes.
We can’t have a third Obama term, which is what electing Hillary Clinton would do.
We never pull down the quality of the product, and I think that pays in the long term. People come up to me and say, ‘I’m still wearing a Missoni sweater from 30 years ago, and it still looks great.’ So quality, specificity and passion.
I learned during my term and in the presidency that we should not discuss about assumptions or insinuations. If one day I have to do something against the U.S., the first one to get to know what I was going to do would be the president of the U.S.
Consciousness rap – a term that I don’t think exactly exists but gets thrown around a lot – is not exactly popular.
I think sometimes if you are too interested in day-to-day politics, you lose sight of the long term.
In the first State of the Union of his second term, President Bush made clear to Americans tonight that he is not going to play the role of a lame duck President.
New Age is a very small box. It was a term that was brought in by the music industry to classify music that is neither jazz, classical, pop or rock. They didn’t know what to call it or what to do with it. So they threw it all together under this one name.
Were I called on to define, very briefly, the term Art, I should call it ‘the reproduction of what the Senses perceive in Nature through the veil of the soul.’ The mere imitation, however accurate, of what is in Nature, entitles no man to the sacred name of ‘Artist.’
That’s a term that I really like – ‘permissionless innovation’ – because anybody who has an idea and has a solution can tap into or can leverage the Bitcoin blockchain.
The New York Dolls did not think of themselves as punk rock. There was no such term at the time. They were just another band in what was called the New York scene.
Britain is not in the single currency, and we’re not going to be. But we all need the eurozone to have the right governance and structures to secure a successful currency for the long term.
When I hear a guy lost a battle to cancer, that really did bother me, that that’s a term. It implies that he failed and that somebody else that defeated cancer is heroic and courageous.
Over the long term, we should develop and implement new technologies to capture and store coal’s carbon emissions. We also must make our electric grid more resilient.
Socialism is practical, in the best sense of the term; a living, vital force of inestimable value to society.
There are some musicians who are talented and see themselves as some kind of natural geniuses or something because of a certain amount of natural ability. But that is often rarely the case over the long term.
I find it incredible and outrageous that public and school libraries are being forced to close – we’ll all pay the price in the long term.
Today I am announcing that I will not seek a tenth term in the United States Congress this November.
I’ve actually always been interested in following a character more long term, but the only place to really do that as an actor is on a TV series.
I find the whole Blairish idea more and more repugnant every day. ‘New Labour’: the term itself is so trashy. Kind of ersatz.
Long term I do believe internationally there is a huge misunderstanding of Russia.
Love it or hate it, Obamacare is the law of the land. It was passed by Congress, signed into law by President Obama, declared constitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court and ratified by a majority of Americans, who reelected the president for a second term.
I want to take a long-term view. Being distracted by short term things can be dangerous when you are making cold, calm, long-term decisions.
Having dealt with a lot of real firefighters, I know there are a lot of guys who, for lack of a better term, become addicted to the grief because it has kept them connected to these guys that they felt responsible for having lost.
Feminism is a word that I identify with. The term has become synonymous with vitriolic man-hating but it needs to come back to a place where both men and women can embrace it. It is particularly important for women in developing countries.
I’m a multi-tasker. I was down with that stuff before they invented the term.
Then in 1969, I spent the spring term at Cornell University in New York. The invasion of August 1968 had already happened, but the hardline regime took several months to crack down on dissidents.
Health care reform, the marquee legislative accomplishment of the Obama administration’s first term, was passed before we entered the world of divided government.
‘Mad’ is a term we use to describe a man who is obsessed with one idea and nothing else.
I take things on a day to day basis when it gets really hectic. But I do think long term and I’m looking forward to the next couple of years when I do start producing my own films with my production company and playing some characters that are older and that’s really exciting to me.
Even low-calorie diets and vigorous exercise fail to work in the long term for at least some people.
I know not everyone starts out reading high literature. If you read enough you might be drawn to some other things, so maybe those vampire books are what they call ‘gateway books.’ I just coined that term. I don’t know if there’s a thing called ‘gateway books.’
When I met Jack Kennedy, he was a serious young man with a dream. He was not a womanizer, not as I understood the term.
In the U.S., the term ‘general aviation’ means its exact opposite, the way ‘public school’ does in England. An English public school is private and, on top of that, exclusive. Likewise, general-aviation airports in the U.S. are for everyone but the general public.
The term ‘hero’ irritates me greatly.
I will make the final decision on running for governor after my congressional term ends.
The word inventors have to create a new term to describe how I felt when I learned that ‘Refund’ was on the shortlist for the Frank O’Connor International Story prize – Excited, thrilled, honored, none of them quite do it.
I hate the term ‘arm candy.’ But, look, a woman’s figure is a beautiful thing, and if she has shapely legs, then she should show them off, because men love to see that. Not just heterosexual men – gay men like to see a woman in her beauty and the shape of her.
I love what I do. And in the true sense, from my training, I try to create a character each time. It is something I do. But I don’t want that term to limit what I can do. I prefer people to say to me, ‘You’re one of my favorite actors,’ rather than ‘You’re one of my favorite character actors.’ It sounds like a slam.
The period that directly follows the dissolution of a long term relationship is extremely volatile, with emotions running the gamut from misery to elation to relief to terror.
In a system where the cost of care is hidden by taxes levied on your income, property, and business activities, it is no wonder why so many Americans rely on Medicaid to pay their long term care.
I love Italian food but that’s too generic a term for what’s available now: you have to narrow it down to Tuscan, Sicilian, and so on.
We really love all sports, but we don’t think in the long term. The reason we did Kingpin was because there was a script we really liked and we saw the possibilities.
Unprecedented’ is the term I’ve heard most commonly to describe the COVID-19 pandemic. As for me, I would describe it as a storm at sea. Lengthy and ferocious. Uncontrollable. Frightening. All-pervading.
Whatever life may really be, it is to us an abstraction: for the word is a generalised term to signify that which is common to all animals and plants, and which is not directly operative in the inorganic world.
I’m not even sure I want to use the term ‘coming out.’
But I think the global economy will understand that the United States has the ability to meet its obligations. But it’s not going to be able to do it over the long term if we can’t control the growth of government.
The long term versus the short term argument is one used by losers.
I didn’t intend to be an actress. It was one of many things I was interested in, and it just took off. I was an actress between the ages of 18 and 22, and it was a wonderful, fun thing to do, but it wasn’t what I intended long term. I parked acting a long time ago.
The term ‘meritocracy’ was coined by socialist theoretician Michael Young, who crafted the party’s 1945 election manifesto.
‘Fair’ is, like, this incredibly overused term in negotiations: ‘I just want what’s fair.’ ‘What’s the fair market price?’
I think it’s pretty important that you learn how to keep your own scoreboard and how to be focused on what truly matters over the long term.
I don’t know if the term ‘liberation theology,’ which can be interpreted in a very positive sense, will help us much. What’s important is the common rationality to which the church offers a fundamental contribution, and which must always help in the education of conscience, both for public and for private life.
‘Black film,’ that term allows studios to just marginalize a movie and say, ‘We’ve made our black film. We’ve made our film with people of color in it,’ as opposed to, ‘I just feel like people of color should be in every genre.’
Four years of Jimmy Carter gave us two titanic Reagan landslides, peace and prosperity for eight blessed years – and even a third term for his feckless vice president, George H.W. Bush.
In certain European cuisines, vegetables are cooked a long time. I take the term ‘al dente’ and use it for vegetables.
In Europe, you are taught to keep the ball out of the net any way possible. That’s why Germany and Spain have the best goalkeepers in the world. They give young goalkeepers a chance and accept they are going to make mistakes. Long term, that will reap huge rewards.
Long term, I have a lot of confidence in the United States. We have an excellent record in terms of innovation. We have great universities that are involved in technological change and progress. We have an entrepreneurial culture, much more than almost any other country.
Seeking an acquisition from the start is more than just bad advice for an entrepreneur. For the entrepreneur it leads to short term tactical decisions rather than company-building decisions and in my view often reduces the probability of success.
I have a distinct memory, dating back to 1989 or so, of sitting around with my college dorm mates talking about a new term that was popping up everywhere: ‘political correctness.’
I am heartily rejoiced that my term is so near its close. I will soon cease to be a servant and will become a sovereign.
The term ‘cost shifting,’ as I use it, refers to those items in a university’s budget that used to be reimbursed by the federal government but are no longer paid for by them.
The reason inflation was brought down to manageable levels, by the time of Ronald Reagan’s re-election, was directly attributable to Jimmy Carter’s very courageous act, hiring a Federal Reserve chair, with the charge to induce a recession. That recession was probably the reason he didn’t win a second term.
As for the claim that drone ‘pilots’ are not engaged in the extinguishing of human life via video games, the military’s own term for its drone kills – ‘bug splat,’ which happens to be the name of a children’s video game – and other evidence negates that.
The term ‘giant’ is used too often to describe artists. But in the case of Akira Kurosawa, we have one of the rare instances where the term fits.
‘Hispanic’ was the term adopted by the government – by the Nixon government in particular – and that made the community feel it was being branded.
At the start of his second term, one wonders less about Obama’s fitness than his willingness: Why doesn’t he do more to build and maintain the relationships required to govern in era of polarization?
I believe that we were not as effective in the second term dealing with this issue of nuclear none proliferation as we had been during the first term when we stripped Libya and Iraq and A.Q. Khan and their capacity to proliferate nuclear technology.
The first record we put out on Fueled by Ramon, ‘The Papercut Chronicles,’ we had no idea what the term ‘producer’ meant. It was just us writing songs, and we are trying to go back to that – singing in a room and vibing off each other.
My amateur interest in astronomy brought out the term ‘magnitude’, which is used for the brightness of a star.
‘Easy listening’ is a term that is often used incorrectly.
I have been definitely influenced more by Latin American writers than by any other type of writer. They are very close in terms of voice – their humor, their fatalism, their… well, that over-used term ‘magical realism.’ It’s a wonderful term that’s just been used so much, we don’t know what it means anymore.
I did a term at Cambridge University studying medicine, so I could potentially have followed in Mum and Dad’s footsteps and become a doctor.
In the spring of 1994 I decided not to seek reelection to the Senate. I had made the decision 12 years earlier, Christmas Day of 1982, just after I had been first elected to a full term, that I would do the best I could for a limited time.
Performing arts was something I was always part of. That was may be the only common thread that ran throughout my education, throughout my schooling years. But apart from that, there were no friends or no long term associations. That was the only thing I knew was with me wherever I went.
It isn’t true, in any conventional meaning of the term, that the United States or its NATO partners ‘invaded’ Afghanistan.
People often misuse the term ‘Regency’ to describe art or antiques dating from a vague period between the 1790s and the 1830s, but technically the period only lasted between 1811 and 1820.
I hate the term ‘rom-com.’
We should reserve the notion of ‘morality’ for the ways in which we can affect one another’s experience for better or worse. Some people use the term ‘morality’ differently, of course, but I think we have a scientific responsibility to focus the conversation so as to make it most useful.
Sometimes I know the meaning of a word but am tired of it and feel the need for an unfamiliar, especially precise or poetic term, perhaps one with a nuance that flatters my readership’s exquisite sensitivity.
The first type of abstraction from objects I shall refer to as simple abstraction, but the second type I shall call reflective abstraction, using this term in a double sense.
Back in George W. Bush’s second term, when diplomatic realism began to overtake foolish bellicosity, the president developed one of his patented nicknames for the two most powerful neoconservative journalists, William Kristol and Charles Krauthammer: he called them ‘the Bomber Boys.’
The term ‘Xiaokang’ is used today to refer to a society where people can receive education, get paid through work, have access to medical services and old-age support, have a shelter and more than enough food and clothing, and lead a well-off life.
Jazz, for me, is a closed circuit, like the term baroque in the world of classical music.
I have no idea who first coined the word ‘Abenomics.’ It was not my original term for the set of anti-deflation, growth-promotion policies I am now pursuing.
I always think long term about anything. That’s why I have never sold anything that I’ve ever purchased. And I never purchase anything that I don’t think I’m going to keep for a lifetime.
I don’t like the term ‘global warming,’ because it’s misleading. It implies something that’s mainly about temperature, that’s gradual, and that’s uniform across the planet. And in fact, temperature is only one of the things that’s changing.
Using the word ‘bossy’ for girls can be quite harmful. What is that saying – that being focused, being assertive, being the boss has a negative attribute? And I have heard that term associated more with women than with men. ‘He’s so bossy’ – you don’t hear that. It’s a very subtle thing.
It’s now up to the full Senate to move swiftly to confirm John Roberts so he can assume his duties and responsibilities as chief justice when the Supreme Court begins its new term in a matter of weeks. We call on the Senate to confirm John Roberts without delay.
Before I really even understood what the term meant, I wanted to be wealthy. I wanted to be able to drive the beautiful old Rolls-Royces my father admired when I was a child.
Over the long term, the only way we’re going to raise wages, grow the economy, and improve American competitiveness is by investing in our people – especially their educations.
You want to show your people that you value them, and you’re not going to hurt them just to get a little more money in the short term. Not furloughing people breeds loyalty. It breeds a sense of security. It breeds a sense of trust.
‘Terrorism’ itself is not an objective term or legitimate object of study, but was conceived of as a highly politicized instrument and has been used that way ever since.
Everyone has a ‘Majnu’ in them. It’s not about the sad or happy climax. It’s a term we use to define someone who falls in love and faces problems.
I played several maids in my career. I was tired of the maid after ‘Far From Heaven.’ I said, no more maids. Until I realized how difficult it was to get a role other than a maid, sometimes, in Hollywood, and sometimes you have to choose your battles, for lack of a better term.
Too often the desire for peace has been expressed by women while the stewardship of the mechanisms which are used to attempt to secure peace in the short and medium term are dominated by male decision-making structures and informal arrangements. This must change.
I would not want the limitations held by the name of a classical musician. I want many people to enjoy my music much beyond just classical music fans. I think the term, ‘violinist,’ keeps me distant from the audience. I want to communicate with them more.
To my ear, the term ‘comic novelist’ is as redundant and off-putting as the term ‘literary novelist’.
One of the peculiarities of Delhi is that the term ‘reform’ is associated only with passing of laws in Parliament. In fact, the most important reforms are those needed, without new laws, at various level of the government, in work practices and procedures.
After my first fashion week, there were so many brands approaching us, and we said ‘No’ 90 per cent of the time. We didn’t care about making a lot of money – it seemed so short term. We’ve always wanted to create something bigger.
Amongst the financial Twitterati, the term ‘muppets’ has come to describe any client used and abused by some financial predator. I’ve adopted the term to describe portfolios that have been assembled for purposes other than serving the clients’ best interests.
I deplore the shying away that can go on, within women, from the term ‘feminist.’ I am, absolutely, all about being a feminist.
I always thought ‘plus-size’ wasn’t a term that was negative – it wasn’t something that I felt was something that was making me any different or making me feel like I was lesser than – and I found a community through it.
I’m interested in that drive, that rush to judgment, that is so prevalent in our society. We all know that pleasurable rush that comes from condemning, and in the short term it’s quite a satisfying thing to do, isn’t it?
The New Age, I think, is a term that is well laid to rest.
I am a feminist. I don’t especially care for the term, but there it is.
The term ‘demilitarized Palestinian state’ is an oxymoron.
It seems the most common thing for serial interventionists to do these days is to lob the term ‘isolationist’ at anyone who does not agree with their latest folly, and then set up a straw man about those people not wanting to be involved in the world.
The energy transition demands a clear vision of the steps that need to be taken and a stable, meaningful regulatory framework. It appears important to us to awaken public opinion to the fact that this transition will necessarily come at a cost and will, at least in the short term, involve a price increase.
At the heart of both democracy and capitalism is a simple assumption that, across the board, people make free and relatively rational decisions: that we are, to borrow a medical term, Gillick Competent.
‘Supercentenarian’ is the term used by longevity experts to signify a near numerical impossibility: those who’ve outpaced 99.9999 percent of the population and landed in the 110+ Club.
That term, ‘David and Goliath,’ has entered our language as a metaphor for improbable victories by some weak party over someone far stronger.
There is more to folklore research than fieldwork. This is why in all of my other upper-division courses I require a term paper involving original research.
After the navy, I transferred to Harvard and finished there. I was there the spring term of 1951 and I stayed through the summer term and a whole other year, so I was able to do two years in a little less than a year and a half.
Faculty met, and after the usual business, some conversation was had about certain students being addicted to drinking, and it was reported that a citizen of the village had informed a member of the Faculty that there was a good deal of drinking this term among the students.
The term ‘steampunk’ itself, now a badge of honor, began as a putdown, a joke. But like ‘Big Bang’ in cosmology, the diss became the standard.
An approach that phases in congressional term limits reconciles the self-interest of members of Congress with the public’s desire to see these changes enacted and gives us the best chance to make term limits a reality.
I worked with these liberal elites for 28 years at CBS News, and they were always throwing around the term ‘white trash,’ by which they meant poor southerners who didn’t go to Harvard. I’m not sure why that makes them trash.
The purpose of the European Union expansion is to bring stability to the East, and ultimately, that stability will come to Russia. There is no long term reason that Russia can’t be part of the same peaceful community of nations.
We can’t just cut our way to prosperity. Even as we look for ways to reduce deficits over the long term, we must grow the economy in a way that strengthens the middle class and everyone willing to work hard to get into it.
I’m really happy here at City. It’s a second home to me, so it was an easy decision to stay for the long term. I knew from the beginning when I started here that I wanted to stay for a long time – I can’t see any place better than here.
The idea of creating film scores was terrifying for many years, into my 30s. It struck me as a career of doing 30-page term papers the night before they’re due.
K-pop is a weird term because K-pop has everything – rap records – it’s very pop-sounding; there are really boy-band-sounding records.
When it comes to portfolios, my personal advice is for anyone who can, put money into forestry or farmland. Long term, you would probably never come near their returns in the stock market. In the world that I see, land is golden.
When people say to me don’t the years go fast I have to be honest and say that whereas I don’t realise where they go in the long term, I pack so much into a year it seems to take forever.

I wasn’t trying to be an outlaw writer. I never heard of that term; somebody else made it up. But we were all outside the law: Kerouac, Miller, Burroughs, Ginsberg, Kesey; I didn’t have a gauge as to who was the worst outlaw. I just recognized allies: my people.

The term ‘new queer cinema’ and the films of mine that were associated with that term are from a very, very different time, one almost entirely defined by the AIDS era. It was a very different social and cultural regard for the lives, the experiences, the worth of gay people.
I felt the term ‘plus size’ was inaccurate and kept all these beautiful, stunning women with the widest spectrum of body types I’ve ever seen – mind you, curvy agencies start at a size 6 and go up to a size 18 – from being seen and resonated with.
When ‘The Washington Post’ ran the first national story about FBI profiling in 1984, no one outside of law enforcement recognized the term.

Well, I know I worked for Governor Rockefeller the last time he ran for his fourth term, and I obviously ran against Governor Cuomo the time he ran for his fourth term.
I did three or four weeks of work on ‘Godzilla;’ it wasn’t a page-one rewrite or anything like that. The term is ‘script doctoring,’ is what I did on it.

I’ve never really understood the term ‘Post-Impressionism’ as more than a label for Cezanne, Gauguin and van Gogh.
I’ve always been a big guy, whether it’s been a fat kid, a fat young adult, or a fat adult. I was always sort of… I guess the term would be ‘popular.’ I never dealt with a lot of name-calling or any of the bullying you’d think a fat kid might have to deal with.

Feminism is not dead, by no means. It has evolved. If you don’t like the term, change it, for Goddess’ sake. Call it Aphrodite, or Venus, or bimbo, or whatever you want; the name doesn’t matter, as long as we understand what it is about, and we support it.
I have always thought that term limits for Justices sound good until you really give the issue some thought.
‘Boldface’ is a pilot term, a magic word to describe the procedures that could, in a crisis, save your life.

It highlights the series of steps that should have been taken to avoid a fatal crash, but weren’t.
Here in England, everyone’s a pop star, innit, whereas in America they believe in the term artist.

Former President Bill Clinton, who is widely regarded as a political mastermind, may have sounded like a traditional liberal at the beginning of his term in office. But what ultimately defined his presidency was his amazing pliability on matters of principle.
It’s the whole big picture that we have to look at to create an organization that wins over the long term. And to just shoot from the hip on a decision based on winning over a 10-game period. No, that doesn’t make sense.
I like ‘nerves’! I like the word ‘migraineur’. I like the word ‘madness’. These are OK words. The 19th century had a very handy term: ‘neurasthenic’. I think that’s a very useful word. We all know what that means: it means extra-sensitive.
What ‘jazz’ means to me is the worst kind of working conditions, the worst in cultural prejudice. The term ‘jazz’ has come to mean the abuse and exploitation of black musicians.

Calling out people for not voting, what experts term ‘public shaming,’ can prod someone to cast a ballot.
Everyone should have a tailor. David Wilkes, the guy who does my stuff, is like, ‘Well you’re a writer – do you want a special pen compartment or something?’ Bespoke: That’s the term you want to get out there.
NBC had a show called ‘The Toughest Bouncer in America’ that I did. But I told them I didn’t like that term, ‘bouncer.’ To me, it’s offensive. A bouncer likes to get physical, likes to put his hands on people.

‘Redeployment’ is a military term. It means to transfer a unit from one area to another.

For clothes, I like Anna on Regent’s Park Road. Anna Park, who owns it, has an amazing eye for fresh, exciting clothes. I also love Arrogant Cat on Kensington Church Street. Space NK on Duke of York Square for exciting potions. I think I stretch the term ‘tester’ way beyond its boundaries.
Every new industry has exuberance in advance of reality. The techies get carried away. There is a period of despair. Then the pendulum swings the other way, and people see the long term potential. It’s like when the Internet bubble crashed.
While I don’t often use the word, the technically precise term for my orientation is bisexual. I believe bisexuality is not a choice, it is a fact. What I have ‘chosen’ is to be in a gay relationship.

The British economy of the future must be built not on the shifting sands of boom and bust, but on the bedrock of prudent and wise economic management for the long term. It is only these firm foundations that we can raise Britain’s underlying economic performance.

One is that President Clinton, in his first two years of his term, did not govern as he had campaigned.
Bob Dylan continues to release odd and unsettling records, and to do odd and unsettling things on stage. So the term ‘still’ seems meaningless to me. But the real answer is simple: I listen to Bob Dylan for pleasure more than I listen to anyone else for pleasure.
‘Independent’ means one thing to me: It means that regardless of the source of financing, the director’s voice is extremely present. It’s such a pretentious term, but it’s auteurist cinema. Director-driven, personal, auteurist… Whatever word you want.
Fear is not a motivating factor. You might be able to get a little bit more out of someone in the short term, but you will completely erode your business and your culture in the long term. You’re going to lose all your good people. You’re not going to have people tell you the truth, and it becomes the tradition.

Period drama is such a huge umbrella term: it seems to cover everything from Claudius to something from the 1920s.

Corruption and illicit financial flows are different. But they really must be twinned. This is because, for practical purposes, it is an eminently more sensible approach to treat most of the sources of illicit financial flows as corrupt activity, within a broader use of the term.
Bodhisattva is enlightened in the Buddhist philosophy, religion, tradition. He’s enlightened. It’s fine – I don’t really fight it – but many people use the term ‘zen’ and terms like ‘nirvana,’ ‘enlightenment’ in an almost superficial way. It’s not that complicated.
I invest in things for the long term and have a long horizon and the flexibility.

Well, I think the best thing we can do for the short term is move good energy legislation through to the Congress; I’m encouraged that there’s some prospect for that now.

I was like, ‘I want us to stop using that term. I’m not a ‘girl gamer.’ I’m just a gamer.’ The reasons I love gaming are the same reasons everyone loves gaming.

Everyone may have some advise for the RBI. Some may advise, ‘Cut your lending rates and raise the deposit rate.’ How will a bank function? We take a medium term view. The bank has an 80-year-old history. I don’t want to destroy it for a few decisions.
I was born in ancient times, at the end of the world, in a patriarchal Catholic and conservative family. No wonder that by age five I was a raging feminist – although the term had not reached Chile yet, so nobody knew what the heck was wrong with me.
I don’t like the term ‘colour-blind’ – because I don’t want people to be blind to my colour.
The term ‘alpha female’ originated in my field of animal behavior, but has acquired new meaning. It refers to women who are in charge, for example, by flirting and dating on their own terms. It is also used maliciously for a loud-mouthed, controlling woman who has no patience with deviating opinions.
Hard work – I mean, does anybody use that term anymore? Laziness doesn’t fly. It’s all in the practice. It does take work and it ain’t easy – but man, the rewards!

There’s nothing fun about stuff like estate planning, getting mammograms, or talking to a guy about long term disability insurance, but do it anyway. Trust me, the stress of not having done the above is prematurely aging.

Given the difficulty of resisting such temptations over the longer run, a proper concern for the welfare of congressional souls may well be the ultimate argument in favor of term limitations.
I think the term ‘friend’ itself has lost almost all of its exclusivity. Even the term ‘good friend’ is overused. Adding the word ‘vital’ provides a clear definition of what we mean.

‘Oh and Oh’ is a tennis term… It’s a nice way of saying you took your opponent to pieces.
Would I be the 3rd term of Rudy Giuliani or the 4th term of Mike Bloomberg? It’ll be neither. It’ll be the first term of Joe Lhota. We’re all different.

We agree with Simpson and Bowles and others who have looked at this. What’s necessary is to stabilize the debt and then work from there. You can’t balance the budget in the short term because to do that would be to ratchet down the economy.
I am clearly more popular than Reagan. I am in my third term. Where’s Reagan? Gone after two! Defeated by George Bush and Michael Dukakis no less.
Charity is a fine thing if it’s meeting a gap where needs must be met and there are no other resources. But in the long term we need to support people into helping themselves.
‘WASP’ is the only ethnic term that is in fact a term of class, apart from redneck, which is another word for the same group but who are in the lower social strata, so it’s inexplicably tied up with social standing and culture and history in a way that the other hyphenations just are not.
Of course China is an important new market for Tod’s, and of course we need to succeed commercially. But I believe the way to do that is not to aim to deliver results in the short term by thoughtless expansion, but instead to explain to the Chinese people what our brand is really about.
