@IkerCasillas and @Carles5puyol joking and making fun out of coming out in football is disappointing. Itβs a difficult journey that any LGBTQ+ ppl have to go through. To see my role models and legends of the game make fun out of coming out and my community is beyond disrespectful
Word of the day is another old favourite.
A 'mumpsimus' (16th century) is someone who insists that they are right, despite clear evidence that they are not.
Word of the day is 'Panglossian' (19th century): unrealistically optimistic.
After the character of Dr Pangloss in Voltaire's 'Candide', who believes everything is for the best in the best of all possible worlds.
