Words

I love it when I hear a noun I've never heard before:
kerning, which came to me from Brendan in casual conversation.

Then there are words I've heard before used in delightful, awkward or horrifying ways (or all three).
A colleague forwarded me a blurb on a new study examining the validity of an instrument for identifying patients on opioids with evidence of misuse. The study authors labeled the patients with misuse "miscreants," perhaps because "ne'er-do-wells," "scalawags," or "filthy liars" didn't quite fit. Before you lose all faith in the peer review process, this study was presented as an abstract at a meeting and has not been published.
