Pancakes on Wednesdays |
|
|
Welcome to Pancakes on Wednesdays. Wednesday October 1, 2003 |
|
Here is an amalgamation of trivial facts and seemingly useless data. Do not forget to hit the hyperlinks. We have links, lots of them.
|
SCIOLIST |
A superficial pretender to knowledge. Some dictionaries mark this word as archaic. A typical example appears in an article by Thomas Henry Huxley in the Fortnightly Review in 1878: Judged strictly by the standard of his own time, Bacons ignorance of the progress which science had up to that time made is only to be equalled by his insolence toward men in comparison with whom he was the merest sciolist. The word, as you might guess from the spelling, comes from Latin. It derives from the verb scire, to know, which is also the root of other English words, like prescient, science, omniscient and conscience. The immediate Latin original was the diminutive sciolus, a person who had only a smattering of knowledge. The related noun is sciolism, the practice of giving ones opinions on subjects of which one has only superficial knowledge. That is a little more common, but the only recent example Ive turned up was written by the American author and playwright Herb Greer in the National Review in 1998: Tynans awful political sciolism sparks out now and again, but not offensively. Store it in the back of your mindyou never know when it might come in handy, simultaneously showing your own word power and your opinion of your opponent. By the time he has found a sufficiently large dictionary to discover youve insulted him, you can be well away. |

Thank you! Our fingers are crossed, but nobody is really concerned. The doctor (who happens to live across the street from us!) says the new mom is disgustingly normal!
We're just on pins and needles waiting...this is our first grandchild, and we're more than ready for her to get here!
