It is hard for me to pronounce that word. I don't think I have ever heard anyone say it or seen it used in a book. It's like its a secret word, ha.

It seems ironic to me, that I couldn't think of a sentence for the word, accismus, even though I comprehend the meaning, as given by that excellent definition, in the OP.

Regardless of a person's attempts to hide their own accismus,
it is usually very obvious, to anyone who's paying attention.
