Yo, bros and gals. So, today, the AI run on my laptop had an unusual task: To define the fictional word "Ghernatious" in the style of the Oxford Dictionary.
It did pretty well. The AI even placed a date of first usage, which is the year 2128. I made the word up, and let the computer do the rest. Welcome to 2024, my friends. By the way, a gherkin is a cucumber, in the British lexicon. My mom likes linguistics, as she used to teach ESL up until 2022, so I wonder what she thinks about this.
For myself, I would define ghernatious as being persnickety or avoiding the big picture, focusing on minor details or issues in order to purposely avoid mentioning the real issues.
Example: Politicians tend to be ghernatious, leaving regular citizens to fend for themselves.
