Antishouldism

Antishouldism: noun. A school of thought that refuses the use of the word "should" as part of both formal and informal language.  Antishouldists, as part of their doctrine, do not call themselves antishouldists, but prefer to go by the title doordonotdoists, which is contemptuously pronounced as "Door doughnut do-ists" rather than "Do or do not doists" by the rival group set up to to antishouldists, simply known as shouldists. Quite hypocritically, the very first sentence in the holy scripture of this organisation, written by an unknown monk in the 14th centruy and completely rewritten in the 1970s, states the following: "We jointly advocate that the word 'should' should be crossed out of the dictionary and should nevermore be mentioned."
