Howdy. We've moved from Cayce, but St. Elizabeth of South Rose Hill or Lizette de Waccamaw de Sud just don't do it for me.

New Word

Just heard a term, for which I've coined a meaning--we'll see if that's the correct one later.

"Dictator-tot" or dictater-tot. n. A hyper-demanding 2-3 year old.

Gotta get time to write about other significant stuff...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Update: Had time to Google the term; it turns out that these folks define it as someone "suffering from Napoleon Syndrome."

While I think my definition is better (full of truthiness, I am), I liked their other neologisms:

  • copacabanal. adj. descriptor of a completely ordinary song, such as one by Barry Manilow.
  • cringe-splurge syndrome. n. disease or disorder whereby a consumer first shrinks back only to spring forth all the more powerfully to buy useless commodities.
  • emoticonoclast. n. an attacker of established on-line ideas and usages, especially those revolving around "emoticons" such as :)
  • homophonia. n. rhetorical trope whereby one's speech is affected to sound "gay."
  • omnimpotent. n. having unlimited lack of power or physical strength.
  • testoasteroven. n. naturally occurring chemical producing tertiary male characteristics such as insistence that one can fix all appliances.
  • vapid eye movement. n. non-verbal communication devoid of interest or sincerity.
