I was reading in Comics Journal and chanced upon this word. It stymied L and me!

1 entry found for kakistocracy.
kak·is·toc·ra·cy ( P ) Pronunciation Key (kk-stkr-s, käk-)
n. pl. kak·is·toc·ra·cies
Government by the least qualified or most unprincipled citizens.

[Greek kakistos, worst, superlative of kakos, bad; see caco- + -cracy.]


with everything as it is at this moment, I am surprised that I haven't heard it before.
