A mispronunciation of "obiter dictum" by someone who uses big words without determining correct details. I have also heard it mangled as "obenedictum".
The term "dictum" originates from Latin, meaning "that which is said." It is derived from the verb "dicere," which means "to say" or "to speak." In legal contexts, "dictum" refers to a statement or remark made by a judge in a legal opinion that is not essential to the decision and therefore not legally binding. The plural form is "dicta."
Obiter dictum refers to remarks made by a judge in a legal opinion that are not essential to the decision of the case. These comments are considered persuasive but not binding precedent.
