There’s so much hate and animosity in that definition that if I used that word in a sentence...I would expect to be objurgated.

When told it is too quick to see every D.C.-related contretemps as just another example of the early 1970’s scandal on which it made its bones, the Washington Post’s only response, regrettably, is to objurgate.
