I believe the word is “extraordinary”…

…as in “extraordinary outburst”. Today’s Fakt, a Polish tabloid, carries one on the front page from ?ukasz Warzecha. “I am convulsed with anger!” it begins (exclamation marks, in fairness, are commoner in Polish than in English). He is angry that Poland does not kill certain criminals and angry at the “know-alls” who sympathise with the criminal rather than the victims. (He has in mind little children in particular.) “Where is your conscience?” he demands of, I gather, “probation officers and little madams from social services”. And to put the “extra”in extraordinary: “you are no better than the degenerates”. The headline? “You are all guilty”*.

Just in case you thought it was only in America that liberals were equated with murderers and perverts.

* I believe it is customary in such cases to say “we”, in recognition of the fact that in a democracy all citizens of voting age must assume some share of blame for the state of the nation.
