#GWOTD

abernism [ZAB-ur-niz-im]
(n.)
- Unjustified or unwarranted use of military authority; military jackbootery; abusive bullying.

From the German name for Saverne, a town in Alsace. Originated from an incident in 1912 involving an overzealous soldier who killed a cobbler for smiling at him.

Used in a sentence:
“The fascist leader’s deployment of soldiers against the very citizens it was meant to protect will always be remembered as vainglorious zabernism.

"Blateration" refers to a type of language, typically used for talking in a long, silly, or nonsensical way, and is also the noun form of "blather". The word itself has origins in Latin and is used to describe the act of noisy or excessive talking, often with little substance

“A shaded lamp and a waving blind,
And the beat of a clock from a distant floor:
On this scene enter--winged, horned, and spined -
A longlegs, a moth, and a dumbledore;
While 'mid my page there idly stands
A sleepy fly, that rubs its hands . . . “
‘An August Midnight’ by Thomas Hardy
