New word for the day: aptronym.

Meaning: A name that is aptly suited to its owner.

Context:

"David Littleproud is parliament’s leading aptronym. He does what his name says. Like a dentist called Stephanie Tooth or a plumber called Stephen Turd."

There’s nothing worse than adding new vocab into the flashcard deck 😔 I already have a little time to study languages, I really hate wasting it in this way 🥲
