FEATURED NEOLOGISM:

αυτοφωράκιας [aftoforakias] Greek neologism firstly documented in the general press in 2008 (Academy of Athens, Bulletin of Neologisms, 16-17). It is a slang word coined from the Greek legal term αυτόφωρο meaning in flagrante delicto. The neologism refers to an individual—typically a nightclub employee—who, in exchange for payment, assumes responsibility for an offense and accepts arrest, thereby shielding the establishment’s owner from legal consequences.
