User:Dglashan/Josism

Josism: “An action, saying or writing of incomprehensible stupidity or confusion done with childish charm.” The etymology of the word is not entirely clear and there are several alternative spellings including “jocysm”, and “jocelynism”. The three spellings probably reflect that use of the word has been recorded during the last thirty years in Devon, Yorkshire and London. The word which is mainly but not exclusively used as a noun is believed to be a result of empirical study by affected parties.
