Refudiate


when sarah palin decides regular english words aren’t good enough, she’ll just go ahead and make a new one. here, refudiate bridges the gap between “refuse” and “repudiate”, to mean exactly what she wants it to mean.
“the president and his wife … they can refudiate what this group (the naacp) is saying.” – sarah palin, on f-f-fox news
a made-up english word: a combination of two legitimate words; “refute” and “repudiate”. this is similar to george w. bush’s use of the word “misunderestimate” several years prior.

used by sarah palin multiple times in print and conversation, she claims her use of “refudiate” is simply her “contributing to the living language” and justifying her ignorance by saying that “shakespeare liked to coin new words too”.

despite the best efforts of the gop and tea party spin doctors, its clear to everyone who wasn’t home-schooled that she’s a f-cking idiot.
she (palin) asked mich-lle obama to “refudiate” claims that the tea party movement is racist.
v. to reject with denial

a portmanteau of repudiate and refuse, famously coined by conservative commentator, vice presidential candidate, and drop-out alaska governor sarah palin.

an earlier instance of the word is found in the june 25, 2010 new york times article, “when capitalism meets cannabis”. here, journalist david segal, quoted a legal marijuana seller. the quote demonstrated a common expressive dysfunction among these people, who would neologize in a chronic marijuana haze.

sarah palin’s innate cognitive disabilities allowed her to independently coin the term on the july 14, 2010 fox news show, hannity.

sarah palin used the neologism again in a post to her twitter account on july 18, 2010. after she was educated by her audience, she deleted the offending post and attempted a correction with two more posts containing the words, “refute” and “reject”. as way of explanation, she compared herself, as a wordsmith, to shakespeare and asked readers to celebrate her mistakes.
july 18, 2010: ground zero mosque supporters, doesn’t it stab you in the heart as it does ours throughout the heartland? peaceful muslims, (please) refudiate.

july 14, 2010: (the obamas) could refudiate what it is that (the naacp) is saying. they could set the record straight.

june 25, 2010: …interviewing pot sellers is unlike interviewing anyone else… simple yes-or-no questions yield 10-minute soliloquies. words are coined on the spot, like “refudiate,” and regular words are used in ways that make sense only in context.
means “i’m a stupid wh-r-” in alaskan dialect. often followed up by comparing yourself to shakespeare and clumsy attempts at covering your tracks.
ground zero mosque supporters: doesn’t it stab you in the heart, as it does ours throughout the heartland? peaceful muslims, pls refudiate
a word used to indicate that those who insist that english be our only language are seldom masters of its usage!
peaceful muslims, pls refudiate.
term exemplifying the lack of culture of tea party anarchists.
combination of the word “repudiate” and “refuse.” commonly used by people with very poor education.
– joe, you should refudiate muslims.

– huh? what language are you speaking?

– chillax man, i’m like shakespeare.
to reveal one’s ignorance whilst attempting to sound clever.
sarah palin totally refudiated herself again last night. is she incapable of using a thesaurus or what?
