Got a couple of words for you.
The first is the one in this post’s title. This is:
…a word coined by H. L. Mencken which means “people who read too much and so are generally oblivious to the world around them.”
Many of you probably know such people.
And then there’s dord. Yes: dee-oh-are-dee. Dord.
What an odd word, you’re thinking. It certainly doesn’t look like English. Well, it looks kinda like word. Especially if I tell you it’s a noun, meaning “density.”
There’s just one catch: it’s pretty much impossible to use it in a sentence — at least, if you’re not discussing dord AS a word. Why? Because it doesn’t exist.
