In that case, please define:

Mo

Pologist


A Mormon apologist.

Is it pretty standard when you are taking graduate-level courses in law for people not to understand that taking disparate words and combining them creates a unique terminology apart from the etymology of the component words? If those disparate words have no definition, the combined "word" will also have no definition. In other words, 0+0 = 0.

So, with that in mind, please define the separate words (as you referred to them)

Mo

Pologist

"Mormon" has a meaning.

"Apologist" has a meaning.

I feel no need to apologize for your ignorance of what a portmanteau is.

And where are these two words found in the made-up term "mopologist"? I don't see them, do you?

"Mormon" and "apologist"? You already provided a link to a limited definition of "Mormon." And "apologist" can be found in any standard dictionary.

What are you flailing about now? I asked where Mormon and apologist could be found in the made-up term mopologist. Anagram it anyway you like, you can't find those two terms in that made-up word.

You know, Sock Puppet kindly replaced "mopologist" with "Mormon apologist" in his OP. I give him much credit for that, and I think this thread needs to get back on topic. I'm going to ask the mods to move Darth J's embarrassing pwnage off to the Telestial.

It's unfortunate that in your strategy of ignoring objective reality, you are saying that I am "flailing" when I already said that "Moplogist" is a portmanteau. A portmanteau is not an anagram, Simon.

Also, since you keep referring to "made-up" words, you appear not to know what a neologism is.

Please feel free to type "Nuh-uh!!!" for as many pages as your anxiety compels you to.

Jesus was embarrassed vicariously on your behalf, Simon Belmont. (Although that is no doubt a misrepresentation of LDS doctrine, since Jesus never actually posted on a message board.)

Maybe you could ask the moderators to remove the corpses of all the orcs you slayed in Mordor, too!
