Scofflaw Voter 

A short dictionary definition of "scofflaw" is "a contemptuous law violator." In practice it is often used to refer to a husband who stops paying his court-ordered alimony or child support. But, the term "scofflaw" can also be applied to US citizens who have the right to vote in elections, but who neglect to do so. In our democracy, voting is the most basic civic duty. Unless blocked by voter suppression, illness, or other understandable reason, voting should never be neglected.
Given all the current frustration with our national government, one primary cause of bad or weak government is the almost 40% of eligible voters, the scofflaw voters, who for whatever reason or rational, choose not to vote .

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
