I realize the headline makes it sound as though a description is desired. But if you read the actual question you'd understand that it's a language question, not a socio-historic inquiry.
The original post gave two examples that coincide with your interpretation; however, it was followed by, "something else?" I gave something else. I hope I did not offend your possible orthodox interpretation of the original post. Nor, did my post in any way counter others' posts.
Perhaps, I should have included, "A Segue to the New Millenium"?
