I have a few email correspondents who use the definition in their signatures, one of whom has been doing it for several years. I think she probably started it once our legislature became more concerned with legislating morality (abortion, Ten Commandments on Capitol grounds, etc.) than actual governing.
As is often the case, I’m the last to know. But these days, the word certainly has a place in my vocabulary.
It certainly does, unfortunately.
Well, it certainly fits better than the old words!
It’s an old word, actually. Several hundred years old according to the Washington Post. But it’s new to me. It’s so apropos!
(See what happens when you swear off national news? You miss stuff like this.)
It’s not in my Miriam Webster dictionary, but the word is clearly needed after the last two years!
It’s in the online Merriam-Webster and several other sources I checked. Perhaps it was unfamiliar to both of us because until Trump was elected, it wasn’t needed.
