I just noticed that we have a current thread nearby just for people who’s goat is gotten by people who use the word “cromulent”. From the OP:

> [@Does anyone else dislike "cromulent"?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/does-anyone-else-dislike-cromulent/674818/1):
>
> I admit that this reaction of mine does not make sense; and I do my best to repress the impulse which I get, to commit acts of violence on those who use “cromulent” – people are entitled to express themselves in whatever ways please them. I just wonder whether I’m unique in finding the word off-pissing; or whether anybody else feels the same way.

ETA: Disclaimer: Myself, I’ve actually glommed onto the word “cromulent”, having found my vocabulary to be usefully embiggened by its presence therein. The very word itself is cromulent.
