I learned a new word today.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Nontroversy. A a lot of nontroversies in the news today.

[Jilly_in_VA]

1. I like it!

It goes right before "nopology" in the dictionary of neologisms.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. That's also a good word.

Neologisms were first associated with schizophrenia with its sufferers making up words.

[madaboutharry]

2. That is a great word!

It describes so much of modern life.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

5. I'm so sorry I got sucked into one of them today.

As I get older I get better at avoiding them but it's kind of hard to avoid them all.

[Wicked Blue]

4. And republicontroversy? nt

[multigraincracker]

6. Urban Dictionary

Worthy.

[2naSalit]

9. It is. ...nt

[frazzled]

7. I learned one the other day

While reading the long NYT article about Putin’s equally long slog toward anti-West authoritarianism.

ir·re·den·tism
/ˌi(r)rəˈdenˌtizəm/
Learn to pronounce
noun
noun: irredentism
a policy of advocating the restoration to a country of any territory formerly belonging to it.
HISTORICAL
(in 19th-century Italian politics) a policy of advocating the return to Italy of all Italian-speaking districts subject to other countries.

I had never encountered that term before, and went straight to the dictionary to find its meaning. Now I have a new word to drop at cocktail parties (if I ever get the opportunity to attend a cocktail party ever again).

[pwb]

8. They invent nontroversys by asking stupid questions

and just answering it themselves. 24 hours a day of questions and opinions. Cable is not our friend.

10. Thank you!

My vocabulary increased by one today. That’s one that I’m sure I’ll use a lot.
