In this week's Savage Love, Dan mentioned that after a visit to NPR's The Next Big Thing, he was challenged with resurrecting a few words that have fallen into obsolescence. Although they were all perfectly fine words, my personal favorite--and the one that I can see pushing into very relevant usage these days--is kakistocracy (a society governed by its worst citizens).
In fact, I'm going one step further. I bet we would actually find that there will be quite a few posts that would easily fit into the kakistocracy category.
