    My 2 year old daughter hijacked my laptop and started typing. As usual, I opened a Notepad window to help her in typing and as well as protect my open apps from rogue keystrokes. It happened that she typed a long list of junk and incidentally I found this word 'icidism' in between. I thought it must be some fun word and tried to bing it only to find that such a word doesn't exist. Anyone heard of it or want to assign a new meaning to it?

        ICIDISM: The belief that Imperial Chemical Industries is the saviour of all mankind and should be worshiped as a God. Rarely used outside the Imperial Chemical Industries boardroom, though they wish it had been. Now redundant, it was replaced with "Akzonobeldism" in 2008.

        The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger. English doesn't borrow from other languages. English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

          Icidists are very secretive and live to the north of the polar circle for religious reasons.

            Congratulations on your bright young neologista in the making ! I think "icidism" could be: 1. a term of scorn and ridicule used by ardent believers in global warming to describe the world-view of those who deny global warming. 2. a term used with pride by those who do not believe in global warming to describe their world-view. You could round-out "icidism" with some complementary terms, like: 1. icidivism : a term used by those who believe in global warming to describe those who once dis-believed in global warming, and then changed their minds and believed in it, but, have now gone back to denying global warming. also a term used by dis-believers in global warming to describe people who have recently converted from believing in global warming to dis-believing in it: often said as a way of indicating some doubt about the sincerity, or depth, of the convert's beliefs. 2. icidivist : an activist who promulgates icidism 3. icidismus : a state of depression icidivists are prone to after unsuccessful fund-raising events 4. icidivista : a new convert to dis-belief in global warming. used as a compliment by those who dis-believe in global warming, and an insult by those who believe in it. 5. icidosis : a state of rapture that those who believe in icidism enter when they read new weather statistics that seem to confirm there is no substance to the theory of global warming. rarely fatal. 6. icidyounot : slang. a. as a forceful statment, or ejaculation, when used by those who dis-believe in global warming in conversation with others who dis-believe in global warming: a form of friendly banter, or "joshing," that confirms inter-group membership and builds group cohesion. b. as a response, when used by those who believe in global warming in conversation with others who believe in global warming: a form of teasing riposte uttered when the hearer questions the sincerity, or beliefs, of the speaker. pronounced with a lilting "rising" tone at the end, as if a question is being asked. c. when used by those who do not believe in global warming in shouting at those who believe in global warming: a form of mockery, or taunting ... often chanted rhythmically at mass demonstrations. pronounced with the accent on the syllable "not." d. when used by those who do believe in global warming in shouting at those who dis-believe in global warming a form of mockery, or taunting ... often chanted rhythmically at mass demonstrations. pronounced with the accent on the syllable "kid."

              icidism (n.): The condition exhibited by toddler-aged children when exposed to new foods or outdoor experiences, and their response is "Ick!". Colloquial form of ickidism.

                  If it's a hard c, it's the penchant to smell like a fish, obviously. Or, if it's a soft c, the act of being in France, which is far worse.

                    Wow. 1. We have finally found who is that bing user. 2. "To bing" something and not getting result is the usual behavior of this search engine, so do not derive too much assumptions from that fact it did not return something usable.

                      When did you last use Bing? I don't find much difference between the search results from google and bing.
