FEATURED NEOLOGISM:

“Czynszojad”: the pejorative Polish equivalent of the English term “landlord”. It is a compound of the word “czynsz”, meaning “rent”, and the suffix “-jad”, used to describe a creature that feeds on a particular type of food. For instance, “mrówkojad” translates to “anteater” in English. The word can, therefore, be translated as “the one who eats rent” or “the one who feeds on rent”.
