Doc-Chamock
A fake doctor. A portmanteau of Doc(short for real doctor) and Chamock, someone who makes a mockery of sacred institutions and/or symbols. The term could apply to dentists, chiropractors, Doctors of Education (Ed.D.) (think Jill Biden). However, the term has colloquially come to apply to eye "doctors", especially optoms as ophthalmologists can make a stronger case for deserving the title doctor.
It is important to note that NOT ALL optoms are Doc-Chamocks. If the optom in question pipes down, stays in their lane. describes themselves along the lines of an ophthalmologist secretary, they are NOT Doc-Chamocks, as they are not making a mockery of the real profession.
