-->* Many [[UsefulNotes/{{Atheism}} Atheists]] will consider \\\"god\\\" to be one of these words, especially if they\\\'ve heard numerous bad arguments from theists.
Because whether you believe in God or not, the word has a very clear and well-understood meaning, known to believers and non-believers alike. A \\\'\\\'word\\\'\\\' is by itself never an example of this trope. The words Orwell lists on the [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Quotes/MeaninglessMeaningfulWords quotes page]] like \\\"birth,\\\" \\\"death,\\\" etc., are likewise perfectly ordinary, clear words that are used in ordinary, clear ways all the time. They \\\'\\\'can\\\'\\\' be used in examples of this trope, as, I suppose, could the word \\\"God,\\\" but none of these words are examples by themselves.
