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]
hear it pronounced
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.

I am very curious about where this word is going in today’s posts. Have fun, scribes. Stay out of holes.

Most of us are appalled by the actions of the troglodytes of the left.

There was an episode of Star Trek in which troglytes were a group of people who lived in caves, on a planet visited by the Enterprise. I bet the writers named those people troglytes xuento the actual word troglodyte.

I went to a movie in about 1970 called Trog. It scared the life out of me for years. It was a double feature with Dracula, but Trog just did me in.

Given the ascendancy of the LGBTQWTF movement in today's society, how long can it be before the troglodytes demand their own carve-out of special rights?

My favorite talk-show host, Chris Plante, refers to knuckle-dragging liberal intolerant jerks, as troglodytes. DID I WIN?

Savoy Brown’s 1970 album titled Looking In featured a
troglodyte peering into a giant skull on the front cover.

Just looked this movie up & it has the most awesome Sid Haig in it. Loved him in “The Devil’s Rejects,” which has one of the greatest endings ever. Must check out this movie.
