74. Infantilize; and Ineffable


From, “Don't Demonize Political Opponents, Infantilize Them,” by Harry Shearer, 11/19/11, Huffington Post:

"I'm not a parent, so other peoples' children are not always a source of ineffable joy, but this was one of those baby's faces that could make Attila the Hun say "Awwww"."

Infantilize: to treat as if infantile
Ineffable: incapable of being expressed in words; unspeakable
