Why “rachmanite” is a great word

RACHMANITE — [Noun] An exploitative landlord whose practices are characterized by organized intimidation and psychological terrorization of tenants. From the surname of the notorious London landlord Peter Rachman (1919–1962) + the suffix -ite, forming a noun denoting a follower or practitioner. Unlike a 'slumlord' (who profits from squalor) or a 'freeholder' (a neutral legal designation), a Rachmanite operates through a calculated economy of dread. It is the thug's shadow in the hallway, the unexplained cut of the utilities, the deliberate installation of intimidating tenants to force others out—a chilling curriculum where property is not shelter, but a weapon wielded against the powerless.
