Meaning of nontroversy | Babel Free

Noun CEFR C1

Definitions

A supposed controversy that does not exist or is of little importance.

Examples

“It is a terrible shame that the media only helps to covers this up "as a national security measure," while they serve us a diet of needless sporting events and contrived international political situations, >nontroversies< designed to distract even the most brilliant humans into complete and total docility.”
“You gotta be fuckin' kidding me. I never had a doubt in my mind that the audience was applauding for the song and not the political statement (it _was_ at the _end_ of the song, recall). Seems like a complete nontroversy to me. Furthermore, the remark is decidedly _not_ anti-abortion!”
“This will, I hope, be my last post about astrology for a while. Until and unless, at least, some other nontroversy pops up.”
