Witling

from Word of the Day · host Word of the Day

Witling is a noun that refers to a person who pretends to be witty. Our word of the day is related to the word wit, which has its basis in Old English. Referring to someone as a witling is generally considered an insult. I liked Chris, but he could be a witling at times. His history of using big words without being certain of their meanings was often embarrassing.
