Why “adoxographer” is a great word
ADOXOGRAPHER — [Noun] One who practices adoxography, the art of writing with skill and elegance about trivial or worthless subjects. From adoxography (from New Latin adoxus, "absurd, paradoxical," from Ancient Greek ἄδοξος (ádoxos), "inglorious, obscure," from ἀ- (a-, "not") + δόξα (dóxa, "glory, opinion")) + the agent-noun suffix -er. Unlike a panegyrist, who amplifies the genuinely glorious, or an essayist, who may treat matters of varied weight, the adoxographer commits the full arsenal of rhetoric to the gloriously unimportant. It is the meticulous taxonomy of lint, the sonnet dedicated to a broken shoelace, the profound meditation on the wear patterns of a forgotten bus seat—a testament to the quiet, defiant belief that to describe something beautifully is, for a moment, to grant it a form of glory.
