Get the Foolish Narcissist mug.Lexical Narcissism (n). The behavior or mindset, often exhibited by political or academic elites, wherein language is weaponized to project intellectual superiority while avoiding substantive debate. It involves redefining common terms, inflating semantic complexity, and using obscure phrasing to intimidate or derail opposition. The goal is not clarity, but dominance through confusion.
