I just read an article on Mountweazels and it turns out that Esquivalience is actually a completely made up word meaning "a willful avoidance of ones official responsibilities."
The Professor of Antiquarian Esquivalience is quite possibly one of the most bullshit jobs out there. I wonder what his lectures are like.
The really funny thing is that Antiquarian Esquivalience is an a actual department at the university. They can afford junior research fellows at least. Who’s paying for all this?
As long as we don’t get a department of Cryptocurrency. It will be full of smelly people and terribly convoluted imaginary money, not even snakes want them.
Yes, probably? Or they read about it on the web somewhere. I’ve first heard about it long before encountering it in FL. It’s quite well known among ‘word nerds’ ;)
