NWoTD - Manorisms

Manorisms - pretending to be like a lord, laird or other large land owner with affected speech and hoity-toity snobbishness towards those who don't happen to live in a McMansion.

NWoTD - Scarachter

Today's new word is brought to you by the train wreck that is the Straight Talk Express in selecting someone as poorly qualified and possessed of extremist religious beliefs along with investigations of abuses of power and ironic personal events to counter public policy beliefs (hard to say abstinence sex-ed works when your own teenage daughter is expecting, eh?)

Scarachter - (scare-achter) someone who's character becomes more and more frightening and disturbing the more you learn about them. See Sarah Palin.

NWoTD - Lipstuck

lipstuck - a worthless obstacle to discussion of real issues facing the nation is the definition of being lipstuck. Extra points for recent relevancy but the term holds for other derailing issues as well.

NWoTD - Blundit

blundit - a blundering pundit. Numerous examples of people who supposedly know more than you or I do completely misrepresenting reality by their own stupidity, ignorance or willful lies.

NWoTD - Fitch

Today's new word was inspired by a mother at one of my schools. An obvious fitness fanatic but, less obviously, a bit of a bitch. Therefore came today's new word.

Fitch - fitness bitch or fit bitch.
