Soi-disant is an adjective that means self-described.
Our word of the day comes directly from the French words for ‘oneself’ and ‘saying.’ It’s usually used to refer to a title or description a person has given themselves. Example: Charlie is a soi-disant troublemaker. But most of the trouble from this self-described troublemaker involves stealing the occasional cookie from the kitchen when his mom isn’t looking.
