I Finally Figured Out My Long Term Illness: Ilithiophobia
VANITY

Posted on 10/06/2022 7:52:12 AM PDT by tired&retired

Ilithiophobia means: A strong and persistent intolerance of stupidity.

Ilithiophobia is a neologism (recently constructed word) from the greek ilithios (stupidity) and the greek phobos (fear).

Maybe it should be the name of a new political party.

You can fix anything with duct tape except stupidity.

However, duct tape can silence stupidity for a while!

Some people are living proof that Ron White was correct.

Is that the origin for the phrase “Dumb as a rock?”

Ilithiophobia is a neologism

I don't know...feels more like a portmanteau.

port·man·teau

a word blending the sounds and combining the meanings of two others, for example motel (from ‘motor’ and ‘hotel’) or brunch (from ‘breakfast’ and ‘lunch’).
“podcast is a portmanteau, a made-up word coined from a combination of the words iPod and broadcast”

How about the word RINO?.. or is that just an acronym?

My hope is that it becomes just an anachronism.

Intolerance and fear are two very different things. I do not tolerate Liberals yet I do NOT fear them.

We were too.

I was 12, IIRC, and me and two of the Methodist preacher’s kids were playing ‘War’ behind the gym after school.

There was a big dirt pile there from construction and it had some dried out clay clods that you could throw and they would burst on impact into a cloud of dust. They were pretty harmless if you got hit, just making you dirty and dusty.

Then one of the kids threw a ROCK instead of a dirt clod and it hit me in the head right over my right eye just above the hairline. Hurt like hell!

It started bleeding profusely and I was crying. It left an 1 inch scar in my scalp for the rest of my life.

They looked at my face covered in blood and took off running for home.

I still have that scar to this day and since I am now bald, I see it every time I look in the mirror............
