Pronounced: MAN(T)-swih-tood, noun
Notes: This word sounds familiar, but I don’t remember running across it
Yesterday’s word
The word double-dome means “an intellectual”
First usage
Our word came into English in the 1930s
Background / Comments
It’s nice to have an alternative word for “intellectual”. Our word was merely a combination of double (two) and dome (slang for head). I guess it means that a person is so smart he has twice the brains of normal people.
