New word: Criticallous

New word: Criticallous

From critical (inclined to criticize severely and unfavorably) and callous (feeling or showing no sympathy for others).

Function: adj

1. Used to describe someone who is both harshly critical and seemingly lacking in empathy. For example: “Joe is so criticallous in every design meeting we have; it makes it hard to brainstorm.”

    I love etymology (and entomology)…the word I used to describe those meetings is “passagressocratic”.

    Great to have a name for the people who join them =]
