I’m rather smugly proud of myself for coming up with the neologism “theothugs‘ yesterday for religious maniacs like Hamas (would apply to Hezbollah, etc.). This excellent column today by John Fund on some environmental hanky-panky in Romania just cries out for a new term to describe environmentalists who make things worse for the environment.

How about “greenbleeder”
ecoliars, Gaia gangsters, greenfrauds? Carson kossaks.
How about “typical?”
“Neerg” ? (‘green’ spelled backards)
Self-fertilizing?
Greener than thou?
Ecosmugs? (kinda rhymes w/theothugs), or perhaps Smug Basins?
Why does “Luddite” not work? Ned Ludd was crazy, so Luddite works in both an anti-technology – anti-capitalist sense, and in a pro-insanity sense.
Greenwasters
Enviro-crites
Green-villains
Eco-losers

gotta go w/ Sissy’s –excellent!
Hi, Buddy. Nice to see you over here, and thanks for the good word!
Hi, Sissy –it really is tops, the homonym effect, yes, but the metaphor –necrotic decay caused by infection (politics) or lack of blood flow (stupidity) –is nigh onto perfect. Then, topper, the “gang” image. If i wuz da judge, you’d get the free burger & shake!
Obviously there are no fans of the NY Jets here.
They of the GangGreen defense (think of the Steel Curtain, Purple People Eaters, etc.)
I do like the effect, but alas, it’s taken.
PS Go Pats!
the hell you say. Oh well, back to the drawing board. c’mon, sissy, do it again!

Terra-ists works, but it seems to be taken for a game. As you can see, eloquent English isn’t my first language, but I do tire of the Dirt and Wind Firsters who think we suffer from Prius envy, so stay at it, everybody.
Good stuff, desconhecida. Eloquent English isn’t my first language, either!
