I can’t say what I REALLY want to say because I’d be banned and jailed. LOL! Suffice to say, I think just about every American is feeling the same way toward the traitors in DC!

Word of the Day: Quisling (Noun)


Pronunciation: ['kwiz-ling]

Definition: A traitor who turns against his or her own country to serve an invader.

Usage: This is a relatively new word so far without lexical offspring. The adjective would be "quislingly" which sounds odd. Better use the compound "quisling-like." It sounds queer as a verb, too, though its meaning lends itself readily to verbalization in the sense of "betray to an invader."

Suggested Usage: For those of us who remember World War II, today's word is a powerful condemnation in its literal sense, "The French partisans were always at risk of betrayal by quislings in their area."

Etymology: A commonization of the last name of Vidkun Quisling (1887-1945), head of Norway's government during the Nazi occupation of World War II. Of all the heads of European states who chose to subserve the Nazi regime in World War II, Quisling was the misfortunate one commemorated for his weakness throughout the European languages.
