Pronunciation: ämnōitôl

Sentence: It’s easy to hate a know-it-all. It’s a little harder to hate an omknowitall, someone who not only acts like they know everything but has the knowledge to back it up. Difficult but not impossible so keep your smug comments to yourself. Let me live in my happy ignorance.

Etymology: omnipotent (having ultimate power and influence) + know-it-all (a person who behaves as if they know everything)
