Suckhole.

a word/term that my father was rather fond of using, when he felt it appropriate. i would most often hear him use the term when referring to some politician (he was a life long blue collar democrat, btw/but he would use it in reference to politicians from either party), and he would use it in regards to anyone he felt was one notch below a "brown-noser", lol! him being a cape breton canuck, he had some even more colorful words/terms that he used, but i won't repeat any because i don't want to get booted off ST, once again. lol

eschew sarin (for some of our readers, eschew is not the same as e shoe)
Foreign ministers of the United States and Russia reached an agreement Saturday on a framework that calls for destruction within nine months of all chemical weapons in Syria. The two agreed that there are about 1,000 tonnes of chemical weapons in Syria’s arsenal, most of it sarin. (By way of comparison, the U.S. stockpile reached about 31,500 tonnes and Russia’s, 44,000 tonnes.)

For the glorious month of September the word is WANNABE!
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=wannabe&page=2
Poser, follower, a charlatan of sorts. One who copies or imitates all or most of the aspects dealing with their idol. They may wish to have certain clothing, skills, vocabulary, etc., of their idols instead of their own. Most likely a wannabe is lacking in self confidence and is looking for guidance.
So many operational definitions, so little time! LOL

Here's a couple options.
Polemic
A polemic is a contentious argument that is intended to establish the truth of a specific understanding and the falsity of the contrary position. Polemics are mostly seen in arguments about very controversial topics.
The art or practice of such argumentation is called polemics.
A person who often writes polemics, or who speaks polemically, is a polemicist or a polemic.[1] The word is derived from the Greek; (polemikos), meaning "warlike, hostile",[2][3] which comes from (polemos), "war".[4]
Wikipedia
or;
Pedant
A pedant is a person who is excessively concerned with formalism and precision, or who makes an ostentatious and arrogant show of learning.
Wikipedia
Could there be such a thing as a pedantic polemicist?

"memory addiction"
"Although with regard to the past, when this is reported correctly what is brought out from the memory is not the events themselves (these are already past) but words conceived from the images of those events, which, in passing through the senses, have left as it were their footprints stamped upon the mind. My boyhood, for instance, which no longer exists, exists in time past, which no longer exists. But when I recollect the image of my boyhood and tell others about it, I am looking at this image in time present, because it still exists in my memory."
—St. Augustine of Hippo, Confessions, 398

Sexagesima is a horrible disease, sometimes blamed on contaminated holy water. It is very common around the Lenten season, especially among Roman Catholics, beginning about two to three weeks before Ash Wednesday in most cases.
The earliest Sexagesima can occur is January 25 and the latest is February 28 (or February 29 in a leap year).

NEMOPHILISTIC CARESS
Love is a sensual nepanthic spectre
that haunts the ancient halls of my
heart with its timeless cure and
invades the beautiful forests of solitude
that enshroud my soul overturning the
lassitude of my ardent, most stubborn
mind and wipes away the haunting
nemophilistic virtues of my loneliness
with its beautiful caress.

syzygy: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/syzygy
Metaphorical usage in climbing contexts:
1) (astronomical) We climbed in a party of three; as a result of the syzygy, the middle climber eclipsed my opportunities for butt-shots of the leader.
2) (psychological) I was faced with the classic climbing syzygy: hardman on the sharp end crying like a little girl.
3) (mathematics) Here I come sharply upon the cliff giving way to the vast ocean of knowledge for which my prior studies and efforts have poorly prepared me. I got nothin'. I tried to understand what it means to have linear algebra over a ring versus a field as part of making sense of this, but a supertopo post isn't quite enough motivation for me to commit the resources necessary to gain this bit of knowledge.
4) (medical-zoological-genetic) When my belayer fell upon me, I wore an ass-hat; it was a perfect syzygy.

I'm still working through my issues with syzygy. After winning for my school, I lost early in a regional spelling bee with this word sometime in junior high. The audience laughed when they heard the word stated for me to spell. I had never heard it before. I knew all the rest, including the word the second place person missed in the end. I was frustrated.
Maybe it's time to let it go ;)
While I'm letting stuff go, I misspelled Wednesday in a 4th grade spelling bee then knew all the rest of the words. Sigh. Deep breaths. Carry on.

1.
express (ideas or feelings) in words, especially by speaking out loud.
"they are unable to verbalize their real feelings"
2.
speak, especially at excessive length and with little real content.
"a 'typical' presidential hopeful will verbalize with another in the 'so-called' debate over quotation marks"
Which, natcherly, brings up Ed Abby and his complaint about "verbalizing nouns."
His intent was to discourage making nouns into verb forms.
His prime example was the so-called verb "to orgasm."
At this late stage in my life, I could care less, or I couldn't care less, depending on "certain factors."
Other verbalized nouns, of which there are many, might excite different levels of caring, although, again, "it depends." I just wish "it" didn't "depend" so much and so often!

I have always maintained didactic teaching as that which entertains while being instructive. Many of my earliest posts, Flames-wise, say just that.
"Didaction" is no word, btw, bros.
MORALITY creeps in there quite easily, however. It's up to the teacher.
An auto-didact would be exemplified by Abe Lincoln, naturally.
I am, all too often, pedantic, BUT I'M NOT SORRY FOR BEING SO!!!!
I share many of the same complaints as this writer, Catherine Bennett.

sublime:

verb / (of a solid substance) change directly into vapor when heated, typically forming a solid deposit again on cooling.
archaic
elevate to a high degree of moral or spiritual purity or excellence.
"The Clouds Are Nice thread is sublime as heck."
"Many glaciers from temperate, alpine and seasonal polar climates store water as ..... pressure, ablation near the surface is solely due to sublimation, not melting."
"Nothing that penetrates one's senses is sublime in itself; but only as far as one makes it a symbol of some Idea. Shapely boobs are beautiful in themselves; a breast becomes sublime, however, when I contemplate eternity, birth, and procreation while gazing at it."

Lygophilia
"Lygophilia is an abnormal desire to be in dark or gloomy places (from the Greek word "lyge", meaning "twilight").
People do not usually 'suffer' from Lygophilia, but rather choose to use it. People who are Lygophilic like to be in dark places, or travel at night.
According to basic Psychology, the term Lygophilia is forgotten frequently for its loss of usage in the modern day society like 'dhat' and 'echolalia'."
"Twilight is the time before sunrise and after sunset when sunlight reflected from particles in the upper atmosphere illuminates the lower atmosphere and the surface of the earth.
Civil twilight begins (in the morning) and ends (in the evening) when the centre of the sun, as refracted by the atmosphere, is more than 6 degrees below the horizon. (Typically, the stars are not yet visible.)
Nautical twilight begins and ends when the centre of the refracted disk of the sun is greater than 12 degrees below the horizon. This is the time when sailors can take reliable star sights of well known stars, using a visible horizon for reference.
Astronomical twilight begins and ends when the centre of the refracted disk of the sun is greater than 18 degrees below the horizon. Not all stars normally accessible to the naked eye are visible during this time.
(For these definitions, the horizon is assumed to be 90 degrees from the zenith.)
In high latitudes in summer time the twilight may extend from sunset to sunrise. This phenomenon is known as white night."

... from the Greek word "lyge", meaning "twilight" And there's crepuscular, which is of Latin origin and means "of or pertaining to the twilight".
It's also used in the sense of "dim", as in "This new proposal is yet another example of management's crepuscular thinking."

I'm a great fan of:
Hooliganism
From Dictionary. com:
Origin of hooligan
1895-1900
1895-1900; perhaps after the Irish surname Hooligan, but corroborating evidence is lacking
Not the behavior but when used ironically. The sound as it runs off the tongue and through the chambers of the mind is sublime.

Anatidaephobia
Anatidaephobia is defined as a pervasive, irrational fear that one is being watched by a duck. The anatidaephobic individual fears that no matter where they are or what they are doing, a duck watches.

A: Dude, Anatidaephobia is the coolest phobia ever!
B: Quack!

Yeah, okay, there are plenty of real words new to any of us. So what? The real challenge is making up new words.
Of course, anyone can make up any word to mean anything, but there is a special challenge in the idea of taking an existing word, adding, changing, or deleting one letter, to make a new word.
Of course, you have to add the definition, and it has to make sense. It's an old game, and you can probably find it on the web, but my favorite has always been:
Reintarnation -- coming back as a hillbilly.
I've made up a few myself. For example:
Punishmint -- a peppermint candy with bits of broken glass in it.
Have at it.

fiat.
The definition of a fiat is an order or decree, or any arbitrary order.
An example of a fiat is a legally binding decree that is issued by a king.
If you voted for him
If you support his actions
you are supporting the son of a member of the KKK, who follows Hitlers advice to Lie about everything, all the time
and to
scapegoat
a person who is blamed for the wrongdoings, mistakes, or faults of others, especially for reasons of expediency.
FEED the FEAR OF OTHERS- TO GAIN CONTROL.
Putting people in "Concentration Camps" separating children & interning them, having some of them disappear...
So using Nazi tactics. If you deny or apologize for those policies that behavior makes you, tacitly A KKK & Nazi supporter.
tacitly
in a way that is understood or implied without being directly stated.
