**A ‣ of vex + lexicon—that is, of terms, where I:

  1. Name dislikes.
  2. Dislike names.**

these are my linguistic bêtes noires

  1. I use terms, often neologisms—esp. my own: “meologisms” to characterize things that vex me.
  2. Where I call out terms that I find deceptive, nonsensical (3. some cursed words manage to be some of both.)
