Term: Structural Engineer
Definition: An obsolete profession, much like sword makers in the age of modern warfare. Their skills in their chosen field is generally poor as they almost never produce the desired result. Their analyses are often less accurate than those performed by discredited physicists, philosophers and linguists.
Example: "I gave you my professional opinion as a concert cellist on the structural failures of the twin towers and the BEST you can respond with is to ask if I consulted a structural engineer?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Term: Demolition Expert
Definition: An obsolete profession (see "Structural Engineer"). Routinely subjected to intensive "training" by the close-minded orthodoxy of thier profession wich has the brainwashing like effect of placing mental blinders in thier minds that prevent them from seeing the potential of alternative demolition technologies such as horizontally firing super-thermate injectors.
Example: "You claim to be an expert in the field of demolition, yet you seemed to be unaware that a thermite stream can punch through a steel girder in less than ten seconds? GTFO you zionist shill!"

Based on a recent post over in the "Nutcase Alley" (my personal name for the site's 9/11 area) section of Democratic Underground concerning a newly published piece of garb... I mean "book" called Towers of Deception by Barrie Zwicker, you can add quite a few more people and orgs. to your definition:
- Noam Chomsky
- The Nation
- Democracy Now!
- Chip Berlet
- David Barsamian
- Z Magazine
- Alexander Cockburn
- Norman Solomon
- The Progressive
- Mother Jones
- Alternet.org
- Global Exchange
- PBS
- South End Press
- Public Research Associates
- FAIR/Extra!
- Counterspin
- Columbia Journalism Review
- Deep Dish TV
- Working Assets
- Molly Ivins
- Ms Magazine
- Inter Press Service
- MoveOn.org
- Greg Palast
- David Zupan
- Northwest Media Project
“…Chomsky, the most quoted “Leftist” in the Left media, systematically engages in deceptive discourse on certain key topics, such as JFK’s assassination, 9/11, and with regard to the CIA. In warning the Left against examining the evidence on JFK and 9/11, he lines himself up with George Bush and the corporate media, thereby advancing their agenda – which he otherwise opposes. When he is not appearing to undermine the American Empire, which is the main thing he does, he is buttressing it by undermining the most effective and therefore dangerous foe the Empire faces – the conscious Left.” (p. 224)
Because I am new here I can't provide a link to the actual post, but I figure someone who knows the site could find the item I am refering to (it's titled Barrie Zwicker: "Towers of Deception" - a review.)

Experiment
A scientific test designed specifically to produce an outcome that reflects a pre-determined conclusion.
Usage: My chicken wire tower experiment clearly shows the WTC did not collapse from fires.
----------
Explosion
Scientific name for the specific sound created by high explosives or thermite.
Usage: As the towers collapsed we heard explosions.
----------
Clearly
Very unlikely
Usage: This video clearly shows a cruise missile.

Wake up- order to believe any tripe which you hear, provided that it confirms your prejudices.
Capital letter- A special shape of letter, used by sheeple at the start of sentences and to denote proper nouns, only used by the enlightened truth seekers to provide further proof for the truth of their claims.
All those that have "woken up" know that a statement is much more likely to be true, if it is typed in all capitals.

Phrase: You ignore WTC 7
Translation: I'm ignoring the evidence you provided showing fire and structural damage to WTC 7 so I can claim you haven't addressed the issue.

Sorry, but regarding this and an earlier "research" definition, I believe we have people contributing who are not familiar with the language.
In most cases, CTer claims of "research" cna be quickly disproven by even cursory google searches, often on the first page of results.
A better definition:
research, v., to make a statement that passes challenged by other CTers.
n., a statement made that is not challeneged by CTers.
Example: "I am a pilot, and after research I have found that the pressure readings place the plane 500 miles above the Pentagon."
Extensive research, n., a statement made that is not challeneged by CTers, and for which at least two other CTers have researched as well.

Variation: You ignore 'x'
Defintion: The 3 page article, the 10 minute video, or the four paragraphs you wrote answering my last question didn't have room to cover the all the nonsense we bring up, so I win by default.
Term: Analysis
Definition:
Carefully selecting only those photos, videos, reports, or numbers that support the CT under discussion while ignoring the mountain of other evidence that thoroughly disproves the CT.
Alternative:
Drawing roughly placed lines on photos of unknown accuracy in order to prove conclusively that an object was/was not in a particular place. See Killtown's Shanksville analysis for a good example.
Alernative:
Observing that a piece of evidence (photo, video, report) doesn't meet your preconcieved notions, then searching the internet for a completely non-related photo of an entirely different event and using it as proof that the evidence under examination is fake or proof of other duplicity. Killtown again provides copious examples of this in his Shanksville analysis.

Term: Incontrovertible proof.
Definition:
The one item that a CT denier ran out of time to refute.
Example:
(At the conclusion of a 2 hour TV debate.)
Gravy (visibly exhausted after refuting 793 inane arguments put forth by the CTist.)
And so, inconclusion, the CT is utter bollocks.
CTist (crowing in glee)
Ah, but you never explained this (holds up photo of WTC tower collapse with a fly speck) MIB sooper helicopter. Since you can't refute it, I win!!11! Pwned!!

Bumped for anyone like me who missed this the first time round.
Celestrin, yours were hilarious!
"Cover-up": Any part of the CT for which CTists don't have evidence is "part of the cover-up".
Usage: CTist: The passengers' DNA identification was faked. Debunker: How? CTist: It was part of the cover-up.
