  • Hard News: The Public Address Word of…,

    Has to be Sarah Palin's 'refudiate' in her tweet about the Ground Zero Mosque that's not really at Ground Zero at all. It's a supposed mix of refute and repudiate. According to a tweet she later sent, she's joining Shakespeare in contributing to our living language. The Oxford American Dictionary has named 'refudiate' its 2010 word of the year. I'm sure we'll hear many more Palinisms in the next couple of years.
