  • meperl commented on the word dietrologia

    dietrologia is the deep-seated belief that there's something nefarious behind everything, no matter how benign it may seem. A belief held in particular by conspiracy theorists, who accept the most illogical explanations even when a simple explanation is the most obvious.
