There's a word that's woefully underused to describe a certain type of poster who's common on Facebook, Nextdoor, etc.
Coprolite.
It's the scientific word for an old, fossilized piece of shit.
Usage: "A coprolite popped up to say that if we really had a king, we wouldn't be allowed to protest."

For those who are curious: yes, I am working on a sequel to SISTER, MAIDEN, MONSTER. It will continue the stories of Savannah and Mareva, and a very minor character from the first novel will play a big role in this one.
Working title is IN THE BONES OF A SUNDERED WORLD.
