Word of the Day: “Tinpot”
Tinpot (adj): “Insignificant or unimportant; minor, often referring to leadership”
i.e. “A Tinpot Hitler”
Not to be confused with other uses of the word “tin” to mean “of lesser quality” like “Having a tin ear” and “a tinhorn operation”
I wonder if the tin industry knows their goods are being talked about this way.
