etymologist 

An etymologist is a person who studies etymology.

Etymology is an account of the history of a particular word or element of a word.

Through old texts and comparisons with other languages, etymologists try to reconstruct the history of words — when they entered a language, from what source, and how their form and meaning changed.

An Etymologist is different then a philologist, one who studies linguistics and etymology.

Beware, those who are nescient often misuse and mispronounce'entymology' which is actually the study of insects!

(et-uh-mol-uh-jist)

If you want to learn the origin of the word nescient, then you should consult an etymologist!

Denise: If we had resources available to us, we could hire an etymologist to do our homework!
Kenny: Let's just log onto youtube and watch HotForWords...
Denise: Isn't she a philologist?

etymological terrorist 

A person who purposefully misuses a term or tries to appropriate a term based on historical meanings in order to advance a political agenda.

Terms some etymological terrorists have used in the past:

Isolationist to refer to non-interventionism
Classical libertarian to refer to communism
and more.

Bill Kristol is being an etymological terrorist when he calls people who don't want to always be involved in a war "isolationists" when in fact isolationism is what North Korea has and non-interventionism is what Switzerland has.

emologist 

One who is dedicated to studying the bizarre animals that resemble humans, known as "emos".

These animals cut themselves for what seems like no reason but emologists are dedicated to finding out what the fuck is wrong with their heads that they would do such a thing. All of these strange creatures do not cut themselves but they do indulge themselves in a horrendous music genre that is named after their race; emo. It flat out sucks.

Metalhead: Bryant and Mike are emologists. Once, bryant spit on a dying emo kid.

Metalhead2: Wow, i wanna be just like them, and grow up to be an emologist.
