Wordsmithing 101

In the spirit of Stephen Colbert's wordsmithing of truthiness, I'd like to submit my own entry to the American lexicon. My new word is a combination made up of the two words sycophant and psychopath and was inspired by listening to a talking head on the radio. This guy stated that despite the fact that most of Europe, France, Great Britain, Germany, Russia, Canada, and a large portion of America can't see the Iranian threat, we should go ahead and nuke 'em before they attack us. My first thought was, "Mabey its you who needs to review the evidence." Anyway, here's the two words followed by my new word complete with definition:

 

Sychophant:

In modern English, the term has come to mean one who seeks to please people in positions of authority or influence in order to gain power themselves, usually at the cost of pride, principles, and peer respect.

Psychopath:

Intraspecies predators who use charm, manipulation, intimidation, and violence to control others and to satisfy their own selfish needs. Lacking in conscience and in feelings for others, they cold-bloodedly take what they want and do as they please, violating social norms and expectations without the slightest sense of guilt or regret.

Psychophant:

Lacking in conscience and in feelings for others, he seeks to charm, manipulate, intimidate, and violently control others in order to please people in positions of authority or influence as well as cold-bloodedly takes what he wants and does as he pleases, violating social norms and expectations without the slightest sense of guilt or regret in order to gain power for himself regardless of the cost to his pride, principles, and peer respect.

Hope you like it. And please, feel free to use it!
