Jingoistic- A derogitory part of some sort of exclusive, rarely used lexicon?

Not according to my American English dictionary.

Jingoistic is not just some sort of insult to be thrown around, it is an adjective that applies to one side of this “debate”.

Rocket88, I just wanted to say I am very impressed with your posts in this thread. You’re a true asset to these boards, and a scholar to boot. Stick around man.

Rosie, do not stick around. Take your insane opinions and Springer family feuds elsewhere.

Yours,

A pot smokin’ sissy democrat.

Things seemed to be heading in that direction. Posting pictures and then calling everyone to mock them isn’t right.

But please continue mocking Rosie’s other shortcomings.

**Hint: Look up words before calling another poster’s usage of them “ignorant”.**

LEXICON n **1: a language user’s knowledge of words [syn: vocabulary, mental lexicon]** 2: a reference book containing an alphabetical list of words with information about them [syn: dictionary]
