Interestingly enough this word has more than just the well known meaning. Be honest, when you hear the word Jesuit you think of Jesus or a Roman Catholic. Am I right or am I right?
Well... I found out this evening that the word Jesuit has a derogatory definition as well. It can be used to define a crafty, intriguing, or equivocating person. I find this fascinating. I'm not sure I would use it in a conversation as I think it could be understood to be derogatory about Catholicism to which my motto is "to each his own" and therefore I try not to denigrate it or anything I don't think I know enough about.
