Loaded words (labelling) - Words that are ‘loaded’ with association.

Examples:

Capitalist, Communism, Economist, Salesman, Socialist, Lawyer, Political




Many words carry negative associations of contempt, disgust and ridicule or suggest untrustworthiness and dishonesty.



Used in statesmants such as “Anyone who thinks like that is nothing but a Communist.”
