n. A metaphorical object posessed by those who use very verbose words to sound smart, or posh. Those who constantly borrow from other languages to sound more clever also have an inkhorn. If an person's inkhorn is said to be large, then they come up with inkhorn words more often. People with larger inkhorns will often borrow more words. It especially aplies to people who will chain affixes together to come up with new words such eruditifferous, and anything else. While traditionally people with a bit of an inkhorn would take a large number of words and phrases from french, latin, and ancient greek, today inkhorners can take bits from japanese, latin, spanish, italian, or any other language and smush them together to create large unwieldy terms.

Notes on usage:
It is to be used as a physical object in a metaphorical sense, it is not an aspect of a person's personality. As
