I'd like to save the dictionary publishers some ink and/or memory space. Several words and their

definitions can be eliminated because they simply no longer have ANY meaning, thanks to Trump, his enablers and those of us who have allowed the words to become meaningless. I propose the following terms be omitted:

---shame
---embarrassment
---hypocrisy
---truth
---democracy
---fair
---reason
---morality
---patriot
---Christian

That will do for now, but I am sure there are other words that now only serve to confuse and mislead us.
