So urban dictionary rejected my new word (as referenced in my entry from 9/13, http://verbappeal.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-study-of-ologies.html).
Here's what they told me:
Thanks for your definition of misogynatrix! Editors reviewed your entry and have decided to not publish it.
I don't quite get it. They have accepted definitions for Misogynazi, Misogynette, misogynista and misogynistette. And a whole lot of stuff that makes me want to childproof my browser.
Oh well. It's on the web, so now it's a word, right? ;-)
The best part of all this came out when I explained what happened to my husband. Something to bear in mind is that he speaks English as a second (or maybe 4th or 5th) language. I could tell as I was explaining that it wasn't getting through.
Me: So I came up with this new word that means a misogynist who hates women because he basically is a chick.
<silence>
Me: So you know what a misogynist is, right?
DH: Yeah.
Me: What is it?
DH: A person who gives you a massage.
I like his definition a whole lot better that mine.
