Generalcies

/dʒɛnərəlˈsiz/ noun

Definition

Plural of generalcy; statements or ideas that are general rather than specific or particular.

Etymology

From 'general' plus '-cy' (suffix meaning state or condition), made plural with '-ies.' This form emphasizes the abstract qualities of being general or nonspecific.

Kelly Says

The word 'generalcy' sounds fancy but it's really about how boring statements are—when someone says 'people are different' instead of 'Swedish people prefer quiet and Mexican people prefer fiesta,' they're speaking in generalcies!
