Subject: [FRIAM] More distraction

 

Has the list noticed the new perfect word for frustrated climatologists and 
epidemiologists:  Cassandrafreude.  This is like labradoodle, another 
"portmanteau" word.  One definition offered is "the bitter pleasure of things 
going wrong in exactly the way you predicted but no one believed you when it 
could have made a difference."  Any other suggested definitions?  You go, Nick!
