Ted,

It seems that your point is that terrorism is what everyone calls terrorism + everything that's worse than terrorism.

Suppose you take the same definition to something that we can call "annoyance", like humid weather. If we take your definition and annoyance is what everyone else perceives as annoyance + everything worse, than you can say that genocide is annoyance. I don't think it makes sense use words in such an ill-defined way. I think annoyance is one thing, terror is something else, different, much stronger than annoyance. Same with genocide. It is something different than terror.
