New Words for the Trump Lexicon
By Laurie Baron
SAN DIEGO−When I get exasperated about the President and policies, I invent words.
*
Auldlangiety: Fear that the complexions of the citizenry aren’t as light as they used to be.
*
Dibromacy: Negotiating concessions only with authoritarian alpha males.
*
Dispencesation: When things get so bad that the idea of Mike Pence being President sounds OK.
*
Ignoranus: The superlative for a dumb ass who thinks he is a genius.
*
Giulienne: Slicing the truth so thin that it is reduced to baloney.
*
Kaverngnaw: Erosion of legal protections for consumers, the environment, LGBT community members, racial minorities, and women.
*
Mullify: Discrediting the Special Council and his investigation.
NOTO: Political dyslexia that renders one unable to distinguish between allies and enemies.
*
Zero Providence: When a policy lacks any basis in religious ethics.
