“ROMANITARIAN” – Wednesday’s Wordapod

Wednesday’s Wordapod Created by Matthew J. Goldberg, author of Wordapodia, Volume One: An Encyclopedia of Real Fake Words

Valentine’s Day (although hardly a Jewish holiday) is quite ingrained in the American culture—for better or for worse. You decide. If the following Wordapod seems cynical or irreverent, I apologize, while sincerely wishing everyone a day—and every day—filled with love and gratitude. 

ROMANITARIAN

Romanitarian (adj) – showing concern for, and helping to improve, the welfare and happiness of others by offering free sexual favors

OBSERVATION:

Romanitarian is a highly subjective term. Many of those who believe that they are performing romanitarian acts are often somewhat delusional, as they are actually the recipients of such largesse.

SAMPLE SENTENCE:  Dina took such pride in being a romanitarian to men in need that she listed it on her résumé as a special accomplishment.

Please Note:  A majority of surveys of American religious institutions shows that most romanitarian acts are not committed by clergyman—they are engaged in by lay leaders.

Wordapods were created by Matthew J. (call him Matt) Goldberg in his book, Wordapodia, Volume One: An Encyclopedia of Real Fake Words. Check this site for a new Wordapod every Wednesday.
