Question: Is the phrase "a mock and a bye-word among all nations" a "rare phrase"?
Chris Johnson, Duane Johnson, ""A Comparison of The Book of Mormon and The Late War Between the United States and Great Britain," http://wordtreefoundation.github.io/thelatewar/
In order to make this phrase "rare," the critics note that "mock" is synonymous with "hiss"
- The Late War 2:9: "a mock and a bye-word among all nations"
- Book of Mormon 1 Nephi 19:14: "a hiss and a by-word, and be hated among all nations"
The core phrase "a byword, among all nations" is not rare
- Deuteronomy 28:37: "a byword, among all nations"
- 2 Chronicles 7:20: "a byword among all nations"
