There are lots of us who are fascinated by language and words (as well as some grammar NSDAP).

Language evolves naturally, and the left is constantly trying to control language and reframe their idiotic arguments by renaming them and inventing words. Some of them become hilarious. It's also just good to be constantly increasing your vocabulary even if it's only as an exercise to keep your brain sharp.

So if you run across a word you don't know look it up and then share it with the other deplorables on here.
 
I'll start us off with. I thought this was a made up joke word when I read it. Little did I know it was already in the lexicon.

misogynoir - hatred of African American women ... LOL!

Who knew hatred was so specific that aggrieved groups would invent their own words? :ROFLMAO: You have to be paying attention to follow this stuff. Look away and it will get right away from you!

 
I worked with a guy, that was the janitor, that would come to my shop every morning and on the blackboard would write "The Word of the Day." and some word.
He left a big dictionary on the desk for us.
All increased their vocabulary and it was a fun thing we all looked forward to.

I named him Sesquipedalian, and it fit. I believe that is spelled correctly but correct me if I am wrong.

He went from there to the railroad and I never saw him again.

Where ever you are K Roberts, you taught us all a lot. FM
