hegemony
Not a test, I just want to know.
I know what it means, I just don't know how to use it.

Hmm, is this a new and interesting vocabulary test or are you trying to flush out individual's political and social opinions?
Fer instance, who thinks the Mormon Church is hegemonic in Ootah? Which of us think the Bush Neo-cons are hegomonists? There's definitely hegemony going on in Irag, Sudan, etc., etc., etc.
There, you happy? What's our next word?

DH says....
The hegemony of American car makers evaporated in the new millenium.
and...
The expensive gift went beyond his usual avuncular advice.

Not being an English major, I mostly know the word "hegemony" from sociological works on hegemonic masculinity -- i.e. certain standardized, stereotypical male gender roles that may only exist in people's minds yet nevertheless dominate there to the point that all alternatives (i.e. everybody to some extent or another) are seen as somehow deviant. And btw, the guy who first wrote about that has since become a gal.
Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

"In a stunning reversal of conventional wisdom, recent studies reveal that female bicyclists have established hegemony over the entire Internet."

Hegemony: dominance, especially by one state or social group over others.
I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...
