new word
Posted this in a thread about new words, but realised its a v. old thread.. cross posting to here to see if anyone has heard of the word..
I came across a new word a few days ago, seemed to be in common use from the (spoken) context but not yet documented - dysethnicsia - to describe the mixing up of people from different ethnic groups, or the lumping together of a range of ethnicities due to their similar appearance or similar sounding names of their nations, obviously inspired by dyslexia and dyspraxia.. Seems to fill a gap as can't think of another single English word that could take its place.. Wonder if anyone has seen it in print? |

If Google AND Wikipedia don't know it, it ain't a word! You need to write a Wikipedia article.

Seems Wiktionary might be a better place for a short definition.. going to look for other sources first, think there must be some written use of it
