Down at the end of this post , about Connecticut’s attempt to fine Catholic protesters for not being registered as lobbyists, Jeff Milyo makes the obvious—but new to me—observation that, used as a modifier in a fused noun phrase, the word social should basically be read as meaning not :
social scientist
social justice
social security
social worker, etc.
Something to that, yes?
