Secondarily, Psittacidae is the Latin name of the parrot family.

Ayup. Been plenty of psittacism posing as witticism in these parts, lately.

Dear Hillary, please hear my criticism
You drone and repeat, naught but psittacism
And when you try to be *clever
You’re the worst “standup” ever
Stick with lies and forget your weak witticism

Hope you are getting better fast-is it an end-of-winter cold?

Obama really must be thinking
Of being the Hawaiian king-
He angers most of our allies
Forget the chaos it will bring

The scolding speeches are now
Just psittacisms as he pretends
To know what he says-and also be
Ignorant of anyone that he offends

First it was Israel he insulted
Now he adds Britain and France
I’m sure he’ll get to all the rest
Just as soon as he gets a chance...

“Psittacism” reminds me of parrots.
