Fogyisms

/ˈfoʊdʒiˌɪzəmz/ noun

Definition

Plural of fogyism; multiple instances of fogyish attitudes, old-fashioned beliefs, or conservative practices viewed as manifestations of a broader system.

Etymology

Simple plural formation of 'fogyism' by adding '-s.' The singular 'fogyism' already marks the abstract concept, and the plural emphasizes multiple expressions or examples of this phenomenon.

Kelly Says

Using the plural 'fogyisms' lets you catalog all the ridiculous ways fogies resist change—from refusing electric lights to opposing women's suffrage, each one another exhibit in the museum of stubborn backwards thinking!
