Not if you know what the word "apologist" means (it has nothing to do with ridicule). Try using Google.

Edit: dang has criticised my last sentence there, which is fair enough. It was meant as a dig. However, if you are unsure of the meaning of a word and are using either Firefox or Chrome, you can select the word, right-click, and choose "Search with Google" and Google will actually give you the definition for that word. It's a (relatively) new feature they've added. Also, search with "etymology" to find the origin of a word.
