nice try:

The term "conspiracy theory" is frequently used by mainstream scholars and
in popular culture <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popular_culture> to
identify a type of folklore <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folklore> similar
to an urban legend <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_legend>, especially
an explanatory narrative which is constructed with particular
methodological<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methodological>flaws.
[5] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspiracy_theory#cite_note-4> The term is
also used pejoratively <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pejorative> to dismiss
claims that are alleged by critics to be misconceived, paranoid, unfounded,
outlandish, irrational, or otherwise unworthy of serious consideration.
