In the last couple days, two words have been the subject of many thousands of internet searches. One is “kakistocracy”, used by the former Director of the CIA in describing American government under Trump, meaning government by the worst possible people. The multiple searches are understandable. Kakistocracy is not a commonly used term, nor was there any reason for it to be so until now. The other subject of internet searches was the word “slimeball”, used by Trump to describe former FBI Director, James Comey. Are you kidding me? I mean, the word is self-describing. A slimeball is a ball of slime. Who looks up the word “slimeball”? Maybe people who don’t care what kakistocracy means, but want to be very clear on all the nuances of slimeball.

Perhaps thare are some who use slimeball flatteringly or those who have been taking it as a compliment.
