Gawker:
If there's one thing that's wrong with the English language, it's that there just aren't enough words. Luckily for all of us, former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin invented a new one this weekend, and then compared herself to Shakespeare.
How did you spend your weekend? Did you invent any new words? Because Sarah Palin did. And that word is: "Refudiate." Here is how to use it in a sentence, via Little Green Footballs:
Palin first used the word while appearing on Sean Hannity's Fox News show on July 14 (see video), where she was attempting to break the world record for run-on sentence length while discussing the NAACP's resolution on the Tea Party and racism. "[Barack and Michelle Obama] have power in their words," she said. "They could refudiate what it is that this group is saying." (What ended up happening was that Tea Party Express leader Mark Williams wrote a racist blog post in response, thereby doing to the resolution the exact opposite of whatever "refudiate" means.)
