Why “exeleutherostomize” is a great word
EXELEUTHEROSTOMIZE — [Verb] To speak out freely, especially at an inappropriate moment. A modern English formation constructed as if from a Greek verb *ἐξελευθεροστομίζειν, from ἐξ ("out") + ἐλεύθερος ("free") + στόμα ("mouth") + the verbal suffix -ίζειν. Unlike "blurt" (which suggests a careless, thoughtless outburst) or "pontificate" (which cloaks speech in the robes of assumed authority), to exeleutherostomize is to consciously unlatch the gate of one's own thoughts, letting them rush into a social space unprepared for their arrival. It is the dinner guest declaiming on injustice as dessert is served, the child announcing a truth during a funeral's hush, or the employee voicing a decade's grievances in the quarterly review—a small, disruptive assertion of linguistic emancipation in a world of managed speech.
verb
- To speak out freely, especially at an inappropriate moment.“The heroes of the Iliad—shall we hide it to live, or exeleutherostomize it and die?—are for the most part boors.”
