Why this word is great
EXCORIATOR — [Noun] One who excoriates, or strongly denounces; also, a machine for stripping the skin from fruits. From excoriate (from Latin excoriatus, past participle of excoriare, "to strip off the skin", from ex- ("off") + corium ("skin, hide")) + -or (agent noun suffix). Unlike "critic" (which implies measured judgment) or "peeler" (which suggests careful removal), an excoriator—whether human or machine—operates with ruthless efficiency. It is the politician’s speech reduced to tatters by a columnist’s scalpel prose, the citrus fruit mangled beneath industrial rollers, the way certain truths, once flayed of their comforting veneer, can never be clothed again—a reminder that some revelations, like some wounds, are meant to scar.
