INHOINISIE -- Auntie Mary and Ann

(In hoyne a see)

new word created by my friend Brandon Casey-Adams and his friend 

It is an acronym meaning "I've Never Heard Of It and Now I See It Everywhere."

Ann and I had never heard of Michelle Alexander and her book The New Jim Crow (which is an excellent exploration of the ways that the current penal system functions as a de facto Jim Crow, mirroring the South's Jim Crow system after Reconstruction), but now that we've read it, Michelle Alexander and her book are INHOINISIE.
