(''Sociology'') A catch-all phrase designed to pin down an intellectual movement which, above all other priorities, as a horror of being ''pinned down'', since what can be pinned down can be analysed and exposed. [[Critical theory]], in this context, is allegedly “third-wave” [[post-modernism]]:  (originally race, law or gender but now has forked into whatever happens to be the ''cause célébre'' du jour); social justice theory; [[woke]]ness; general [[snowflake]]ry.
