I learned a brand new word today
And know who it applies to.
I thought I knew pejoratives
As well as a Thesaurus
But this one sounds a bit made up.
I stumbled on it glancing through
A list of vintage words and terms
I came across this morning.
I’ve said it over many times
Enjoying how it sounds
It kind of rolls across the tongue
And could be used for joking
But it’s for more than just a laugh
And here is what it means:
“A shrewd, unprincipled person
Especially a politician.”
I will not be naming names -
Too numerous to list
But choose the one that you like least
And call him Snollygoster.
ljm
I love new words. I had fun with this one and in the bargain realized I picked up a previous challenge word that I missed: Pejorative. So I got two for the price of one. Yaaaay.
