Malfeasant: wrongdoing, especially by a public official.
When my dog is acting suspect I'll ask her if she's been engaging in malfeasance. I love it because it sounds so absurd. She's gonna be the only dog to pass the SAT someday.

Nonsense: when a scientist tries to tell you what happened billions of years ago when they can't say for certain what currently exists.
Example:
"Scientists describe Ceres as an "embryonic planet." Gravitational perturbations from Jupiter billions of years ago prevented it from becoming a full-fledged planet."
They are going to orbit this thing in a few days and might figure out what some lights shining from it's surface is. They don't know what the lights ARE, but they have the hubris to tell us how the entire thing came into being.
...and some will lambast me for being a rube "because science."

Despite grand and noble efforts to the contrary, we still could not avoid politicizing this previously academic conversation thread.
Academia: an institution where large and copious amount of words are used to confuse those outside their field of study into believing they actually know what they say they know.
Which is precisely the subject of this thread.
