Slouching toward abominable neologisms

I was appalled to see the so-called word "ganjapreneur" in an above-the-fold headline in yesterday's Denver Post, the paper of record of the Gateway to the Great Plains. However, the Urban Dictionary has found a usage from The Atlantic Monthly in 2009, which means it's not quite as new as yesterday morning, but still abominable.

I foretold much doom and gloom when marijuana was legalized in the great state of Colorado, but the death of English has caught me by surprise.
