NIce! I was an English major.
But actually, it's both.
Yes, I see that now.
After posting about “otiose,” I googled “odious debt,” which I had never seen before.
Odious debt is actually a legal term.
I was familiar with the concept - countries are not liable for debts created by tyrants - but I had never seen the phrase before.
Anyone know if the concept of "odious debt" can be applied to tyrannical wives and children!
