syllabolic

The act of being hyperbolic, while also being really, really silly.

The word was first used by Former President Trump, in a tweet describing how bizarre it was that DeSantis, who had just entered the Republican Primary for the U.S. Presidency, hadn't decided how his own name was pronounced. DeSantis had waffled between a phonetic pronunciation: "Deh-Saan-Tiss" and a stranger "DEE-santis" throughout his political career.

Trump mockingly tweeted that he liked the "syllabolic" version better. Syllabolic was not yet a word. What he meant was the syllabic version of the word. This is hysterically funny in-and-of itself, because syllabic isn't the right word. What he meant was that he liked the *phonetic*.

Trump called DeSantis stupid. DeSantis graduated from Yale University with a B.A. Magna-cum-Laude, then attended Harvard Law, where he graduated as a J.D., cum laude.

Trump used a non-existent version of a word, which was the WRONG WORD, DeSantis stupid, over a minor (albeit VERY strange) inconsistency, in his campaign.

During a broadcast by the Young Turks, a center-left political talk show, hosts Cenk & Ana coined the term 'syllabolic' as someone being hyperbolic and is being so silly about it that you can't even tell if they know they're being silly or not.
Man, that Donald Trump sure was being syllabolic stooge when he called a Harvard Law graduate stupid, using a made-up version of the wrong word to do it!
