I honestly think the word itself is great example of a meme in the Dawkins sense, an actual non-biological living thing that keeps living by influencing humans to become its hosts by tickling all of our senses at once:

It’s visually pleasing to see written out and to scan over, at least in my sans-serif browser font — unopinionated.

- Check our how it has a completely uninterrupted horizontal sight line!

- The unbroken visual falls along the midline for a nice balance between the above and the below. The eye can’t stray into words on adjacent lines like it could if we were focusing along the word’s baseline or at cap height.

- The properties of the leading ‘u’ glyph welcomes the eye to start reading the word left-to-right. The ‘u’ has nothing below baseline or above midline to be a visual obstacle blocking any angle of entry to the word. If our focus enters the ‘u’ anywhere below x-height the first thing we see is its happy smiling bowl with nothing sharp telling us to look away. If our focus enters it at or above x-height, the two sharp stems would look unwelcoming, but the adjacent ‘n’ is ‘u’s perfect opposite and makes that entry angle into something unique, a yin/yang sort of thing, pulling our eye’s motion into at the very least a diagonal. Without the ‘n’ our gaze could enter the word straight down and just sit in the bowl of the ‘u’ instead of continuing to scan right.

- The tittles on the ‘i’s prevent the above-sight-line negative space from overwhelming, breaking it into two wide and one thin segment.

- The ‘n’ shoulder connects the two tittles into something like a paperclip that feels as though it pins our line of sight tightly to the tops of the lowercase glyphs.

- The ‘ini’ group has its own line of vertical symmetry, like a cute li’l’ sans-serif Solomon’s Temple, and the location of that group provides a nice thick natural visual center point in the word as a whole. It sits a little bit left of actual center, but that gets balanced by the two ascenders on the right side.

- The ‘t’ ascender would break our sight line, but its cross-stroke falls right along the line of sight, ensuring it will always be the first part of the ‘t’ we see, so it will never fail to grab and hold our gaze until our focus is safely on the other side having dodged the ascender completely.

- The ‘p’ descender balances the ‘t’ ascender both in horizontal distance from the word’s visual center and with its opposite orientation. Those qualities combine with the ‘n’s shoulder to imply possible rotational motion of the entire word around that origin.

- The ‘d’ ascender would break the sight line of it weren’t the last glyph, but instead it provides a nice satisfying perpendicular terminus, stopping our left-to-right scan at the best possible place where we’ve seen the entire word but get made to linger and take it in for just a moment longer.

Its syllables form a naturally musical staccato rhythm, and the necessary mouth movements feel physically pleasant to say — unopinionated

It’s a perfectly-sized dose: six syllables is long enough to be satisfying, and any longer than a single word would be too much. It’s the same feeling as picking the ideal number of Skittles® in a single handful:

- Three is too few and just feels like the remains of a previous mouthful as soon as you start chewing.

- Four is like the minimum that won’t make you think “I should have taken one more”.

- More than seven and the whole wad turns into a brick around the back of your teeth so you can’t even chew properly to break it down.

- But six? Perfect sweet spot.

The word as a whole has a smooth rising and falling sound when spoken. Say it over and over and you can feel it like a sine wave — unoPINIONatedunoPINIONatedunoPINIONated

Emotionally, saying the word has that ‘90s-cool-guy vibe, like I’m smart enough to be able to care about things if I, like, wanted to, man. Stop, like, harshing my buzz.

This comment is not a joke in any way. I still hate the word’s meaning but admit it has an impressive form :)

Ok, one joke: I just spent like 15 minutes trying to think of things I like about this word because I thought it would be funny to be opinionated about ‘unopinionated’.
