A word or phrase is loaded when it has a secondary, evaluative meaning in addition to its primary, descriptive meaning. When language is loaded, it is loaded with its evaluative meaning. A loaded word is like a loaded gun, and its evaluative meaning is the bullet. Examples.
LaWanda Page (October 19, 1920 â September 14, 2002), born Alberta Peal, was an American actress and comedienne best known for her role as Aunt Esther in the 1970s TV sitcom Sanford and Son.
Although the show was Foxx's vehicle, the strong portrayal of the Aunt Esther character by Page allowed her to hold her own against Sanford. The character of Esther was in direct contrast to the raunchy, expletive-filled material of Page's stand-up comedy act and record albums.
