ecosavant
 n.— «Then there’s Al Gore. During the 2000 election, the press seized on the conceit that Gore was too eager to please, too deferential, too indecisive. Today Gore is still the proto beta male—the on-again-off-again beard, the belly, the deference to Tipper—but he’s also having the last laugh as a movie star, an ecosavant, a best-selling author and a potential dark-horse presidential contender.» —“Betas Rule” by Jennie Yabroff Newsweek June 4, 2007.
