I am appalled at the stupidity of the President and co-President.

At the same time, I am appalled that another uncommon word is added to the journalists’ dictionary, evidently to be used as often as possible.

“Solipsistic” simply isn’t a part of most folks’ vocabularies.

Few people can pronounce it without sounding like they are lisping.

And guys and gals, somewhat like the wild changes in the meaning of the word “meme” (which originally connoted the spreading of information by word of mouth from person to person), I’m sure “solipsistic” will also mean whatever the user means it to mean.

Maybe solipsistic or solipsism will become this years gravitas.
