Morality
Moraline is a satirical made-up word that arises when the word “ morality ” is linked with an ending that suggests a chemical or pharmaceutical substance . It is used in the form of “moral content”, “high moral content”, “high moral level” or “morally sour”. The formulation denotes in a disrespectful (derogatory) way actions, behavior or views that are supposed to be overly influenced by subjective values.
Originally the term morality goes back to Friedrich Nietzsche , who speaks of a " virtue free of morality " in his work The Antichrist .
