Word Woman


Welcome to another wild and wonderful installment of Word Woman's Weekly Work-Out! Keep your brain in shape for the long haul with life-long learning. Now let's get that gray matter warmed up with the Word of the Week:

Slacktivism: (noun) [slacker + activism] activism which requires little effort. -- "Hatchet Jobs and Hardball: The Oxford Dictionary of American Political Slang", Grant Barrett, Ed., Oxford University Press, 2004.

Example: John tried to schmooze Tina with his environmental slacktivism, but she wasn't buying it.
