That is not part of the normal lexicon of the way people talk.” She added: “So it’s interesting that Republicans are doing something they don’t normally do right, which is not use the common tongue, not use just common English to sort of use on their campaigns, like they’re doing with crime.” Joy Reid: Inflation was never part of the “normal lexicon” until Republicans “taught people the word”Joy Reid: Inflation was never part of the “normal lexicon” until Republicans “taught people the word” Reid continued that most Americans who have never used the word “inflation” in their lives are now using it because they were “taught” the same by GOP. “What they’ve done is they’ve taught people the word inflation, right? Most of the people who would’ve never have used that word ever in their lives are using it now because they’ve been taught it, including on TV, including in newspapers.” She also hinted that Republicans taught the public about inflation with the intention of winning the polls. “They’ve been taught this word and they sort of wrap this word around whatever it is that they really want to vote — you know, the reason they really want to vote.”

As per Merriam-Webster, the word “lexicon” is often used to define the vocabulary of a language, a group of speakers, a subject, or an individual speaker. It can also be used to define a book like a dictionary, in which words of a particular language are alphabetically arranged and presented alongside their respective definitions. According to the Cambridge Dictionary, the lexicon can be defined as a list of words used in a particular subject or language.

At the time, the former said: “When you recently went off on me for continuing to mask up post-vaccine while jogging in crowded Central Park, you weirdly, as you did in that montage, threw in my attending Harvard. And I don't know, maybe I'm sensitive to this stuff, but it felt kind of like a dog whistle.” As reactions continue to pour in online, it remains to be seen if Reid will address the public response to her statement in the days to come.
