Oh yeah.  A word that functions as its own ostensible
definition.  A word worthy of our President himself.


Difference being that our President believes the word exists prior to his
usage of it.  Lord knows in our world of evolving lexicon, no word should
ever function as its own ostensible definition.  And God forbid a RAT should
fuck with language.

I agree it sounds a bit like "strategery", but I was taking the use in a far
different context of e-mail (or should I say electronic mail) versus that of
an alleged political figurehead.

Where do e-mails and political figureheads intersect?  ;)
