VThe next word came from my research;
opproprium - noun 1. something that brings disgrace 2.a. public disgrace or or ill fame that follows from conduct considered grossly wrong or vicious: INFAMY b. CONTEMPT, REPROACH
As far I as I understand it over here, the word is used to describe the general feeling of distrust, dislike, shame, etc., of a person for doing a particular thing (generally regarded as 'special'). A person defacing the War Memorial gets a load of opprobrium when caught.
this word could be used to describe the discourse nationally and on Lit forums when discussing politics.
I don't think that's how we have it, Rj.
