Stymie (See also Stimy, stymying, stymieing)
Def 1: a word used by Scottish courts to describe the pro-rogueing of parliament prior to Brexit;
Def 2: a word used by Scottish judges to show they know words in the English language that the majority of English speaking nations have never heard before;
Def 3: a word which 99% of the English speaking
world had to look up (on
Google, or another search engine, or a
dictionary) when they first heard it said aloud (see also pro-rogueing).
In use description 1: The Scottish courts have ruled that proroguing parliament was an unlawful
act to Stymie the Brexit debate.
In use description 2: So, I
heard the Scottish courts have
said “pro-rogueing” parliament was to “Stymie” debate about “Brexit”, which is fine. However, can you please confirm: what “Stymie” means; what “proroguing” means; and what “Brexit” means?
