Semanticore

An individual who frequently argues semantics, often to an annoying extent.
A portmandeau of the words 'Semantic' and 'manticore'.

Ratoly is such a semanticore. Yesterday he told me that I should have used 'unbounded' instead of 'infinite' when referring to a combo in a game, because 'infinity' isn't a number the game understands.

Semanticate

v. tr. (from the adj. semantic); the intended meaning (implicit or explicit) of an individual’s communication; that which is trying to be communicated by an individual.

When I speak of ‘freedom’ I do not mean the bland and passive ‘freedom from’ commitment or responsibility that is too often semanticated.

Semanticoherence

The quality of meaning in language that is logically structured and consistent, ensuring that words, phrases, or concepts form a coherent, rational whole within a given context.

"The semanticoherence of the argument was clear, with each term logically supporting the next in a seamless way."

semanticise

To make arguments for the sake of being a winy stupid face.

I enjoy semanticising with my best friend Bex. We like to semanticise.
