For y'all esteemed eminentos who still do not see or subscribe to tsuwm's 'Worthless Word for the Day,' here's an example of what you're missing (from Friday):

the worthless word for the day is: eminento

[modification of Italian eminente]
an eminent person
(but often used as a disparaging epithet)

Hendrik Hertzberg, writing in The New Republic, attacked [R. Emmett]
Tyrrell's "verbal dandyism-Chicken McMencken, perhaps":

The formula is simple. First, select a person to attack. If possible, refer
to him or her as the Hon. insert surname, the Rev. insert surname, or Dr.
insert surname. Second, call the person a nasty name, either a heavily
sarcastic one (esteemed eminento, sonorous pontificator, distinguished
scholar) or simply a jeering one - bellyacher, buffoon, dolt, dunderhead,
galoot, gasbag, greenhorn, half-wit, idiot, imbecile, jackass, loony, moron,
nincompoop, pinhead, poltroon, popinjay, quack, rube, sap, simpleton, snot,
windbag, wretch, yahoo, yokel, or zealot. Third, add an adjective
(optional). Brazen, fuliginous, gaseous, gimcrack, maudlin, meretricious,
piffling, portentous, sophomoric, puerile - any of these will do. Fourth,
accuse the person of engaging in bibble-babble, claptrap, flapdoodle,
flumdiddle, hokum, moonshine, pishposh, rumble-bumble, pronunciamentos, or
tosh. Finally, work in a reference to the United States as "the Republic."
You will soon be writing, or programming your computer to write, sentences
such as this one, from page 21 [of The Liberal Crack-Up]: "There have
always been whistle-brained pontificators at large in the Republic, all
promising a New Age full of wonder and kookery."
