Default Can you call it \'terrorism\' if no one is scared?

Okay, now we got car bombs again in Britain. Well, this isn't really a big deal here: I think the Blitz made Brits pretty immune to threat or scare, and we pretty much shrugged off similar campaigns by the IRA, so the reaction in this country (despite an ever-frenetic media) is shrug and get on with it. Who cares?


I wish they'd give it a name to better suggest these sort of endeavours to belittle and ridicule those trying to scare and hurt people. I vote 'futile tosspotting by sad lonely men who have very little meaning to their lives other than whatever idiocy they've been fed' rather than 'terrorism', but it's too long.

Any better names anyone? Anyone got any other suggested alternative methods of combatting this nonsense by ridicule, belittling and deride the whole thing outside the usual "be vigilant" and watch potential 'tosspotters?'
