===== The film about psychics called ''[[Push]]'' has examples of: =====
* What does the word "Bleeder" have to do with shouting so loud that you kill people and break things? The names for the other types of psykers make sense, either as a literal or metaphorical description of what they do or as an explanation of how they go about it. "Bleeder" makes so little sense I had just about convinced myself everyone was saying "Bleater".
** I believe it's because they make you bleed (out the ears). Though I do wonder why they didn't just call them Sirens.
Line 31:
** Because Pushing Kira doesn't turn out all that well. A Push can be resisted, or eventually unraveled; it's not Mind Control so much as rewriting some memories. Seems like a temporary solution. Especially on individuals who know what it is and how it works.
 
===== ''Push'' as a term for [[Mind Control]]: =====
* Did this film invent it and if not, where did they get it? Since this film came out, [[Heroes]], [[Alphas]] and a few other places have used the term.
** I think it was first used in the [[Stephen King]] novel [[Firestarter]], where it refered to psychic powers in general (The father "pushes" a pay phone to make it eject all of it's coins, and later "pushes" a scientist to convince him to let him and his daughter go)
** [[The X-Files]] also used it to refer to the psychic character Robert as the "Pusher".
