In remarks he made about "the enemy" on Friday, the president used the word suiciders a couple of times.
Some might say this is not a word. However, if a laborer is one who labors, then a suicider is one who suicides. It's a perfectly cromulent word.
For "cromulent," see Wikipedia:
When schoolteacher Edna Krabappel hears the Springfield town motto, "A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man," she comments she'd never heard of the word embiggens before moving to Springfield. Miss Hoover, another teacher, replies, "I don't know why; it's a perfectly cromulent word".
Later in the same episode, while talking about Homer's audition for the role of town crier, Principal Skinner states "He's embiggened that role with his cromulent performance."
