Hey, it’s #BigWordDay! Surprisingly, few of our etymological videos centre on big words, but we’ve done a couple of shorts about some bigger words, like Kenspeckle and Bedizened: https://youtu.be/rpFH70CPMWA

Today's Word is Podsnap:
"Podsnap is a pompous, jingoistic character, proudly immune to nuance. As Dickens describes him, “Mr Podsnap was well-to-do, and stood very high in Mr Podsnap’s opinion. ... Mr Podsnap’s world was not a very large world, morally; no, nor even geographically: seeing that although his business was sustained upon commerce with other countries, he considered other countries, with that important reservation, a mistake.”
As Podsnap himself adds, “No Other Country is so Favoured as This Country. ... This Island was Blest, Sir, to the Direct Exclusion of such Other Countries as -- as there may happen to be.”
Podsnap, the walking embodiment of moral myopia in a world so tight no unpleasant facts gets through."
Indeed! This seems so familiar...

Wanneer je erachter komt dat iemand heeft gelogen, denk je al snel aan een vooropgezet plan. Maar de realiteit is vaak banaler.
Mijn geheim dat nergens op sloeg
Ik was met iemand in gesprek over weekendjes weg. Ineens begon ik te liegen

I made myself just brute-force memorize it after my own mortifying miss.
But nice mnemonic! for those that still need that kind of, er, accommodation ...

Beloved Tor editor Teresa Nielsen Hayden once wrote about interviewing candidates for publishing jobs. If they could spell "accommodate," they might make good copy editors.
Decades ago, after fumbling it myself, I asked 30 other experts how to spell the word. All my fellow marketing writers plus managers, editors, tech writers, etc., in the corporate communications office where I worked. Only 1 person — a lowly (but beloved) typist — got it right.
