I have coined a new word
I was talking with my friend Rick from work on Google chat, and I made an interesting typo. Instead of typing “publicly airing,” I wrote publiclairing.
We were discussing a desire to make a complaint known to the wider public. I think this is a great word for that or any other emphatic public statement, a portmanteau of public and declaring, especially if the second “i” is dropped.
Publiclaring.
Your move, OED.
