1460-Caller-Anatopism by A Way with Words published on 2016-12-05T03:40:08Z An anachronism is something that's placed in the wrong time period, like a Roman soldier wearing Birkenstocks. But what's the word for if someone or something is literally out of place geographically speaking? You can use the word anatopism, from the Greek word for "place," or anachorism, from Greek for "country." http://waywordradio.org
