in infamy I spent time with a non-tenured, history professor that was a former newspaper man. That was the first time I heard the term and until now I had not seen it used anywhere. He was given the boot when he cracked a joke that was taken as fact by a then full professor, who then proceeded to make an utter fool of himself. Unfortunately, a deed that could not go unpunished.

The word - (infaam - in Dutch) together with abject - has risen to popularity in my country as some popstar-like lawyer recently used it in a high-profile case in court. Now it's used by almost everybody to note things they don't like, and soon guys with big trousers only reaching up to their knees and large baseball hats will use the word in their urban language, I think. |
