After a recent election, President Obama prompted a cavalcade of Internet users to look up the word “shellacking.” I’d like to point out that I used the word “shellacking” (okay, it was “shellacked”) before using the word “shellacking” was cool. I’m not sure I used it completely correctly...but I used it.
In addition to learning big words and using big words, I also define big words sometimes.
What I write, I’m told, makes people smarter. I wonder whether a certain prominent American got the idea to use “shellacking” from me. Ha!
