  • 'Refudiate' wins Word of the Year

    For all you Palin lovers and haters out there…

    The New Oxford American Dictionary has named "refudiate" as the Word of the Year, defining it as a "verb used loosely to mean 'reject:'"

    An unquestionable buzzmaker in 2010, the word refudiate instantly evokes the name of Sarah Palin, who tweeted her way into a flurry of media activity when she used the word in certain statements posted on Twitter. Critics pounced on Palin, lampooning what they saw as nonsensical vocabulary and speculating on whether she meant “refute” or “repudiate.”
    You betcha. ;-)

      I don’t know, maybe it will “infudiate” her detractors. Or it could cause some “insinnuendo”. We are awfully lucky to have English, the richest, most useful, most delightful language on earth. The language is large, man.

        And it will take some trickeration to make her a contender in any national political endeavor.
