I had go look up ignominious pasquinade too. There, I’ve used it 3 times. Its part of my vocabulary now too. I get a kick out of arcane speech.
Spiro Agnew was great at that kind of speech. My favorite quote from him was when he called anti war protesters,” An effete corp of impudent snobs.” He also liked to use the word “nabob.” I looked that one up but don’t remember what it means. It just looks interesting.
Nattering nabobs of negativism.
Who doesn’t love that!
