Thanks for posting this. The word became popular at just the right moment. There’ll be a whole lot of refudiatin’ going on in the next 2 years.

Yes, excellent word and the timing is “perfect.”

She finally got fair treatment.

“Everything she touches turns to gold? She just got a word into the New Oxford American Dictionary. Freaking unbelievable.”

And exact polar opposites of the one others call president where EVERYTHING he touches turns to $hit.

Despite what the ninnies say, the english language had no “rules” that cannot be broken the instant we wish. We can create words, usages, and structures out of thin air.
We are practically the only language without an official “Academie”.

I think it was John Locke desperately wanted one for English, and was shot down.

The truth about our language is why everybody on earth will speak english in 75 years, save a few brave efforts to preserve some for cultural reasons.

But anything serious, science, business, travel, philosophy, etc will all be english. The internet was the final nail in the coffin.

So i “refudiate” those who say spanish will take over, etc. The english snowball will roll over spanish and pick up the words it likes, as it has for every culture!

I’m more concerned about her choice of foreign policy advisor.

Refudiate this man Sarah!

I thought the press hated her. Myself, I kinda like her. If she wasn’t an amnesty queen and didn’t push TARP, LOST, and carbon caps, I’d even consider her worth voting for.

Sometimes I think I am the only person in the world who has actually read the Introduction to the dictionary. The editors are very clear, the dictionary is “descriptive” not “prescriptive.” Despite the propensity of so many to use it as the latter.

Sarah was right when she said that English is a living language and ever evolving. Words are made and created all the time. That gave liberals a big laugh. But even the editors of the dictionary agree.

Now we witness the proof. I suspect the liberals are still laughing. Imbeciles.

Sarah Palin is now in a class with William Shakespeare; one who has coined a word in the English language that has a uniquely new precise meaning that did not exist before.
