Lizard: Then We’re All Sorta Terrorists

Lizard People: I read “extremist site” article and found it interesting. These people typically have unusual ideas about how to get out of parking tickets, but I wouldn't go so far as the article did in calling them “paper terrorists." If there is such a thing as “paper terrorism”, then terrorism has lost all real meaning. I'm a “blizzard terrorist” when I go to DQ and get the two for one deal and eat them both without sharing. DFO is a “Headline Terrorist” when he writes a headline I feel is partisan against PaleoCons. OTV is a “Smart Alec Terrorist” when he makes me laugh in spite of myself.

Question: Do we tend to use the word "terrorist" too loosely? In the loosest sense of the word, what kind of a terrorist are you?
