New word: Criticallous
From critical (inclined to criticize severely and unfavorably) and callous (feeling or showing no sympathy for others).
Function: adj
1. Used to describe someone who is both harshly critical and seemingly lacking in empathy. For example: “Joe is so criticallous in every design meeting we have; it makes it hard to brainstorm.”
I love etymology (and entomology)…the word I used to describe those meetings is “passagressocratic”.
Great to have a name for the people who join them =]
Nice! Compact, efficient, and potent. Its got to rank up there with ignosecond.
