I decided to bring back my Word of the Week series. Here’s an obsolete one that’s especially appropriate for Christmas, because according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, it literally means “spoiled child.” That’s the kid that will get a bag of coal from Santa!
Origin and Etymology of mammothrept:
Greek mammothreptos child brought up by his grandmother, from mammฤ mother, grandmother + -o- + threptos, verbal of trephein to bring up, nourish

Try using that one in a sentence!

Since “Santa” is really the parents, the same parents who spoiled her will give her a nice present. Love the picture.

That’s true, lol! I agree it’s a great picture. I used to be addicted to Little House on the Prairie as a kid.

I will now be calling people mammothrepts. Thanks for that one!
The fact that it comes from “brought up by his grandmother” really makes me laugh.
