Words as Weapons...

On Tuesday we met a guy who used the word, "lumpen proletariat" in a veiled attempt to dominate conversation and exclude outside input. Then today Rolf told me that the type of sweater worn by the Cosby Show's Theo Huxtable is the "Coogi." I'm not entirely sure, but I suspect that neither the actor who played Theo, nor a real proletariat, would ever use either of these words.
