In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".
troglodyte
[TROG luh dite]
noun
This is the technical name for a caveman, or one who lives in a cave. The term also covers anyone living in seclusion or in a primitive state, like a hermit.
Trogle is Greek for "hole" and dyein, is Greek for "get into." The ancient Greeks gave the name "troglodytes" to uncivilized races who dwelt in holes in the ground or caves.
You will like Bone Tomahawk. It’s a bit different and is filled with skilled actors.
There have been troglodyte monks and saints in the Orthodox Church, who built places like this:

And people have lived in caves throughout history, even in the 21st century:

Nevertheless, the Left and the Right in our America each call the other side “troglodytes”, meaning primitive cavemen. Go figure!!!!
“I prefer “proglodyte””
Going straight into my Glossary of Flames.
Thank you.
Whenever a slobbering proglodite
Is thinking he sees a troglodyte
I wish that I may, I wish that I might
Explain to the troll that Right is right.

When the snow comes up over the windows, I become a troglodyte for a few months.
Foolish young leftists
live in their parents basements,
dumb as troglodytes.
Wish this idiot would become a troglodyte & crawl back into his hole:

A haiku:
The troglodyte left
Destined to utter the phrase
“You want fries with that?”
“I’ll sock it to you, daddy!”
Living in their mom’s basement
Lefty troglodytes know resentment
Spending their day
Rioting for pay
In a flurry of crazed discontentment.
Hey liberals, socialists and hate-mongering democrats (but I repeat myself) TryGodtolight your life.....
Yes. You won. Congrats. Your prize is a free entry in the next 50 WFTD.
Liberals think they are so erudite
In the way that they express their spite
But its not right
To be impolite
And act like an obnoxious troglodyte
I’m loving it!!
