Umm... decades-old language is pretty new!

I would be interested in knowing the difference between creation of terms within fandom to categorise certain behaviour, and terms that 'arise organically' from fandom and which are used as a putdown relating to certain behaviour. Because... distinguishing observed immaturity from behaviour? How, other than behaviourally, does level of maturity get externalised in such a way that others feel the inclination to put it down?

The tooth fairy didn't bring the terms, is all I'm saying. Whether organic, biointensive or biodynamic, the words come from somewhere and arose for a reason. :-)
