vexilloillogical

practiced by overwrought, underinformed, self-described "patriots", vexilloillogical behavior is the sporting of flag motifs anywhere other than a flag. seemingly unaware of the vexillological proscription of this practice, an oppressively coarse and dull-witted group known as "most people" seem to revel in it. to celebrate what they mistake for their political, moral and economic superiority, the citizens of a country will debase their flag by applying its motif to shirts, ties, hats, beer cozies, underwear and sweatsuits.
