That's _KingLekan's signature (?) text pigment. Why that colour? The conspiracy theorist in me is having to plow through an avalanché of possible scenarios.
_Mizmycoli, more than a coincidence?

Why put my sobriquet right in the middle of your seemingly well crafted hocus-pocus

Only meaningful threads are sought by derailers! They avoid empty ones.

Lmao!!
This got me cracked up for reals.
I have even forgotten I was in a bad mood cheesy

Okay, lemme explain...

"Hocus Pocus" = Meaningless talk or activity. It is usually employed in a bid to distract from the main topic of discussion.

Diminutive means relatively depleted or exhaustion or unsubstantial.

It signifies that the context on which it's employed is comparatively below standard, intensity, average, quality/quantity or amount etc. Just anything of an insignificant proportion.

I could say for instance, until the emergence of Obasanjo's administration Nigeria's telecommunication and banking industry was diminutive.

The.SonOfMark,

What is leprechaun

A leprechaun is a fairy in Irish folklore. By default, fairies are lightheaded, happy-go-lucky beings with below-par ratiocinating abilities.

Consequently, saying a person is a leprechaun means the person is a featherbrain ,stùpid or an idìot.
