A Hint: The usage of Warlock is one.

To clear some confusion: Heathen is an Old English word that is defined as hÆth, heath, untilled land, moors. Abit later the definition was "People of the Heath and moors." Then Christians tacked on Non-believers in Jesus quite a short time ago as history goes. I use it as one of Asatru would.

There are ten or more.

Five words I use to judge the words in a Question or Answer.
Free -- Used in a sentence or phrase containing the words spell or ritual.
Warlock -- Used for Male Witch (The Asatru are looking at it seriously for a title, but need a bit more research.
Magic -- When denoting the working of Magick
Satan -- Used in conjunction with Magick or any of the Pagan belief structures.
Wiccan/Witch -- When used as the other
Black -- When used with any spelling of Magick.
Evil -- When attached to Magick or Spirits.
Possession -- Used in a sentence or phrase containing the words Pagan, Heathen, or Witch.
Witchcraft -- Used in a sentence or phrase containing any of the specific Crafts, especially those that are talents rather than Magick.
Hell--That's just too obvious.
Skyclad -- used stupidly.
Book of Shadows -- In any attempt to aquire such from anyone or a commercial source.
Ouija -- described in so many stupid ways.
Well I've given a Bakers dozen and it's time for best answer.

I can't pick a best answer. Sorry, but you're going to have to sort it out yourselves. I haven't actively done my homework on Asatru--I got lazy after retirement-- so I could not truly judge marked words of the current Asatru.

Newbie neo-wiccans:
"A true Wiccan would NEVER _________
I need a love spell
It *IS* an ancient religion!
They're just old and bitter
No one can define Wicca
It's whatever I feel like"
There are more five-word phrases that are indicative, but I'll stop there

Bravo on the back round ;) Yes we go by Heathen.
Oh lets see, Wizard, Warlock (Means oath breaker. That one irks the hell out of me) Sorcerer, Satanist (Especially since I know Satanist. They don't appreciate being lumped in with pagans either since most of them are atheist) and anyone asking for love spells.
For Asatru, hmm...I dunno. I'm a "newbie" per say but if you study hard then you weed out the "crap" pretty fast. But I swear to the gods if I hear one more person tell me what stone, crystals or herbs "go with" the gods I'm going to scream. That's a pretty big sign of a newbie or a bitrad. Bi trad isn't "bad" but sure as hell ain't Asatru. Ugh drives me nuts. And anyone who claims Asatru and talk about the gods being ASPECTS is a newbie. You can not believe that and be Asatru. The rest of the belief system crumbles if you do.
edit: LOL yeah there you go Boar. He's an "old timer". Those are the ones!

I would say when someone gets a pagan post deleted that they don't agree with marks them as a Xtian. I really wish Yahoo would make it so you can see who's giving the thumbs down and let you know who is reporting you. Any person that's afraid to let you know what they think of you is a small person indeed.

Heathen---yes, indeed, it IS the correct term . . . and has been used in textual sources to refer *exclusively* to followers of Nordic/Germanic religions (i.e., vikings) since before the 14th C . . . at any rate, heathen noobs tend to say things like:
"How do I find my "patron?"
"How can I be sure I'll make it into Valhalla? I want to fight beside Odin at Ragnarok."
"I *work* with ______ and _____"
"Loki is just misunderstood."
"The Nine Noble Virtues were good enough for my ancestors, and they're good enough for me."
And of course, my favorite:
"I'm a black cross-dressing gay polyamorous neowiccan who practices faerie magic and Santeria . . . can I be Asatru?"
Whereas old-timer heathens tend to say things like:
"This drinking horn seems to have developed a massive mead deficiency."
"I'm not celebrating Winternights while I still have to run the A/C to sleep at night."
"Some people are just natural born bog fodder."
And my personal fave:
"It's not about 'who can be Asatru' . . . it's about who can be Asatru with ME. "

Not really words, more like phrases, but anyway:
-"I read in this really cool new book..."
-spelling magic as majik, magickk, majick, maggik or anything of the sort...
-"can someone give me a good spell for...."
-"wicca is an ancient religion!!!"

I would imagine the use of terms like "white" and "black" magic, the assumption that they all believe exactly the same thing, and misconception that everyone follows the Rede.

I've seen a lot of them throw around the following:
Warlock
Satan
Power
Spells
Crystals
It's really more about how they say things than what they say.
