The dreaded phrase in design circles is 'show and tell.'
My debut single "Pointless Relationship" is about a girl's view of where the relationship is going with her partner and it sounds like a negative term. But the song is more of an empowering song from a woman's perspective! It's the life of them together and it's just never going to go where it should go, and so she's saying to him this is a pointless relationship.
All Bridget Jones did was give us a word for it - singleton - which was the worst possible thing.
To me, the word 'workaholic' is a negative word.
'Villain' is such a harsh word.
I'm perplexed, though, by your application of the term 'negative' to my figural imagery.
