This is literally the first time in ages that I had to look a word up--an English word anyway. I pride myself on my extensive vocabulary. And even knowing what pedant meant was not quite enough (usually enough context gives me the meaning of a word without checking it out, and in fact you gave PLENTY of context, I just didn't put it together. I'll blame my lack of sleep.)
So you gave me a TIL. My grandma was convinced that the key to avoiding senility was learning something new every day, exercising that brain so it didn't start to atrophy.
Oh, I should probably mention the word I didn't know was not constiposted, or even constiparted, and even if those were the words you defined them really well so if I would have had to look them up I might seriously begin to question my intelligence. Um, if I had attempted to look them up I should probably question my intelligence, hee.
So for the rest of those who may come upon this post and not know the meaning of this word, here it is:
neologism. n. "practice of innovation in language.
For being constiposted this piece was clever to the point of brilliance.
Edit: I'm really surprised Howie has never called me a neologist because I'm pretty famous around this house for 'word innovation'. Also, resteemed.
That sellout Stephen Colbert isn't the only one who gets to make up words to get laughs. At least now I have something in common with him though. Our words are number one google hits. I don't care about how he got paid three million more than me. As for neologism, I'm not certain, but I think it's a relatively new word. A word made up to describe making up words. It's about damn time! The pedants are the ones who typically cease innovation, though on the surface feel like they are doing the world a great service. Yes, I did hide some brilliance within. Thanks for noticing!
That's so awesome! Don't worry, one day you'll be getting paid the big bucks for it too :)
