Lynch
An eponym, as I just found out. Mob-rule (3 or more) extra-judicial execution. Used nearly exclusively for White on Black crime in the US, it can be used for simple abuse, defamation, or even simply an unapproving review in the press.
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.

Let’s not forget that ignominious day when Clarence “MAGA” Thomas disgracefully played the race card with this word, defaming Anita Hill, apparently an ‘uppity’ black woman with more integrity, credibility, and dignity than he will ever come close to.

Re: Lynch
Thanks Slava. Most interesting that it is eponymous. William or Charles? I must say, William sounds much more likely.
And well done, brogine. Beautifully expressed.
