Use the word "gaetzeist" in a sentence or phrase.

I posted about my new made-up word late last night, as a response to a response in a post by Beetwasher (https://www.democraticunderground.com/100215294303).
But because it likely didn't get viewed much, I thought I'd post here, and challenge people to come up with good uses for it.

"Gaetzeist" is modeled after the German "zeitgeist."

My suggestion: "The Republican party's current gaetzeist of embracing putrefacatious acolytes."

Try your own hand at it! Celebrate the schauenfreude!

We could even tweet about it! #gaetzeist

Invent a new word? How about "gaetzeist," as a takeoff on "zeitgeist"?

used in a phrase, "The Republican party's current gaetzeist of embracing putrefacatious acolytes."
