roundaboutation...

Our Australian pseudo PM is definitely adept at this...Thanks to his remarkable marketing skills, he has invented special word salads that leave any attempt at relevance, logic and validity stranded high and dry in the wilds...
Love this word...

sparple...

Wow...Doesn't this 'glove' fit our Australian pseudo leader...I am sure that he has plenty hoarded in stock for his personal PR emergencies...

Scott Morrison invents back stories to suit his narrative

A shameless liar of a kind our media haven't dealt with before, he writes stage plays in his head as he speaks where he directs proceedings in an alternative reality

Often does this with his wife too, "Jenny told me X"

long-lost positive words...

Thank you Susie Dent...
“Respair” has just one record next to it in the Oxford English Dictionary, from 1525, but its definition is sublime.
Respair is fresh hope; a recovery from despair.
May 2022 finally be its moment.
Long-lost positive words... https://t.co/yKMFFWjltO

latibulating...

A little like burying or having your head in the sand...???
But somehow, 'latibulating' sounds more like a waiting game than totally ignoring conditions... https://t.co/akLqmLXWTg

nod-crafty...

'nod crafty' suits my errant habit of writing poetry when staff meetings seems so inconguously long+repetitive...Not hard to appear wise+thoughtful when composing poetry... Just take care other staff members don't seek less complementary amusement by looking over your shoulder... https://t.co/xmqKVDZgb9

A cliché born in the behind scenes technicalities + special effects of a theatre...Love it...

There is the faint, elusive attraction of 'charisma' in 'charientism'... but with a sly twist... https://t.co/FYyCLznM7p

lost positives...

'Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting—
over and over announcing your place in the family of things.'

autolatry...

Autolatry (god-like self-worship) seems to slightly edge ahead of - egomaniacal + egocentric + solipsist (one who adheres to self-absorption and ignorance of the views or needs of others) + narcissist (one who shows extreme love and admiration for himself or herself)... https://t.co/rH1UTIXADs pic.twitter.com/KXaBIGGyMx

bloviate...

Wikipedia,(rare resource for me),there's more...
Bloviation is a style of empty, pompous, political speech which originated in Ohio and was used by US President Warren G. Harding, who described it as "the art of speaking for as long as the occasion warrants, and saying nothing". https://t.co/PRbSJ8mwDH

18th-century voice...

Who would believe that an 18th-century word could almost seem prophetic... and even have a targetted touch of surprise humour...So much could spin from this word... https://t.co/p4miI9UYu4

Drumpf. Remember? That was their real last name before his family changed it. Probably means the same thing.

respair...

2019 Chinese film 'Better Days' = story of a bullied high school girl+teenage street thug, how their lives were changed by each other. Also, while self-quarantining as a band, OneRepublic wrote the hopeful song “Better Days”.

U.S. Election Day... miracles are welcome...

Word of the day must be the global thought of the day... So many concerned thoughts are with the U.S. people voting for their future... May they walk gently and safely... https://t.co/6TQ712wl6g

PASSING THOUGHT: Never have I felt this odd, numb fixation with another world, where I've never been. And that numb fixation is underscored with a deep pain that seems to have no believable, earthly cure. I guess that means I'm leaning on miracles that I hope do exist somewhere.

Weltschmerz...

Aaaah...‘Weltschmerz’... What a brilliant word... I know of no English equivalent...It even sounds like a grand voice for the meaning ... O what a word for the world right now... https://t.co/DlYD23Nle5

The urge to swear is rather close to the surface, today... But this word provides a rather neat suspension bridge between 'being polite' and a more explosive expletive...Now...Who fits this bill...politician#1, politician#2, politician#3, policitian#4, etc... https://t.co/66W70inyCk

bayard...

I guess there is another brilliant thought of the day...What a great word...BAYARD...I think of a wolf baying to the moon (for sound only)... The wolf has far more innate intelligence than some humans to whom this term may aptly apply...OOO the connections I can make... 🤣🤣🤣 https://t.co/FtdK2I4JCa
