Some time ago I listed a number of new words brought into the common vocabulary directly or indirectly by our highly educated and articulate president. Now I am pleased to add a new one:
Dotard – a person in a state or period of senile decay marked by decline of mental poise and alertness
This was the word the Korean dictator used to describe the U.S. president in a recent exchange of barbs. I always considered my own English vocabulary fairly large, but I must admit that I didn’t know the word dotard until a Korean brought it to my attention. I am adding it to my list of new words.
- Dotard
- Gaslighting
- Narcissism
- Bigly
- Emoluments
- Terrific
- Nepotism
- Alternative Facts
- Breitbart
- Deplorable
