I use the word "cromulent" in my speech at every possibly opportunity. Seems to me it just fits better than saying something like "legitimate."

As with the Cracked "misunderstood words" article and thread last week, I'm surprised "apropos" didn't make the list.

Great. Now that you mentioned google search for it, the words search result tally will be embigened.

For the record, this is exactly why I wish that everyone pouncing on Palin would have either A) let this one slide, or B) found some way to mock it without repeating the word.

All that happens when you use a nonword over and over and over to mock someone is that it eventually becomes a normally used word and then only about 5% of us remember that its just some ridiculous mangling of words 10 years down the road.

Damn you all!

(If you'll excuse me, I need to continue working on my strategery so we may eventually return to normalcy.)

It's simply the embiggening of our vocabulary. Irregardless, to refudiate the word would be ironic.

Irregardless of the cromulence of "refudiate", Palin shouldn't be comparifying herself to Shakespeare.

Actually, refudiate should be a word. It will mean "to prove that an idea is false and then to reject it outright." Right now, I have to use two words to accomplish the same thing. First I have to refute the idea, then I have to repudiate the idea. Refudiate would make life so much easier.

That kind of economy of language is double-plus good!

Don't misunderestimate the subliminable power of grammar nazis, sometimes they are a force for good on the internets.

To be fair, she's a Republican so it's against the rules for her to admit making a mistake.

it's always good to throw in an "-iate" or "-ulized" to any common word. Makes you sound smart.

Creative language is nothing new for poets, pimps, and politicians. I kind of like "refudiate". It's one of the least annoying things to come out of her mouth, lately.

I'd guesstimate that about 35% of Farkers agree with you.

Your statement embiggens the impact of perfectly cromulent usage of non-words by a retard.

There are no words that could be coined to capture the utter inappropriateness of that comparison. I am baffled that this woman is taken seriously by any thinking being. SHE DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME.
