Lost Word Of The Day (64)

Snool - to be bullied and to bully #lostwords #obscurewords #logophilia

I am always fascinated how words over time develop meanings which are the polar opposite of their original sense. Take the Scottish dialect word from the 18th century, snool. As a noun it meant a servile toady who submits tamely, a yes man, an obsequious or sly person, a cringing person, a coward. However, another definition which developed later was a mean, wretched person or a bully leading to…

Snool [snool]

(n.) 1. A servile toady who submits tamely. 2. A willing kow-tower, a 'yes man’. 3. A milquetoast, a drudge. 4. An obsequious or sly person. 5. A cringing person; a coward. 6. A mean, wretched person; a bully. (v.) 1. To reduce to submission. 2. To cringe or cower. 3. To bully or lambaste harshly.

Of Scottish origin - 18th century. Used in a sentence: “I always knew he was a snool, but did he really have to curtsy like some obsequious little milquetoast?” 

The definitions seem contradictory, in that one describes a cruel bully, and the other describes the one being bullied. The key point to remember in these situations is that definitions of words evolve over time. The longer a word is used, the more likely it is to happen and the more extreme the changes. Like the word “literally” as a fine contemporary example.July 14, 2020

I almost got kicked out of my first aid training today because I thought the word 'snool' instead of 'snail' and started laughing uncontrollably, but I didn't know how I was supposed to explain it to my instructor
