Roget's Disease
Revision as of 18:15, 25 November 2020 by Leah Zeldes Smith (talk | contribs)
A term attributed to John W. Campbell, Roget’s Disease is the ludicrous overuse of far-fetched adjectives, piled into a festering, odorous, tenebrous, ichorous, leprous, synonymic heap. It applies to both pro and fan writing.
Said-Bookism is one strain of the syndrome.
