New Politically Correct Terms

from an e-mail i have received..


It's time to have some fun. I think we should propose adding the following words to the lexicon. Just remember one thing... For all intents and purposes, my name is Anoni Moose.

1) garcify
a) to distort results
b) to cheat in an election

Used in a sentence: "The president was unable to evade allegations that she garcified her way to the highest office in the land." Or, "There are claims that the Philippines has become irreversibly garcified, claims which are becoming increasingly difficult to refute."

2) norberse
a) to be purposely obtuse
b) to obfuscate in an attempt to hide the truth

Used in a sentence: "The official remained norberse all through the hearing, leading many to think he was clumsily trying to protect someone." Or, "There is no truth to the claim that norbersity can be cured through the slow ingestion of potassium-laden bananas."

3) miriamphony
a) a verbose and lilting discourse during which the speaker drifts in and out of reality

Used in a sentence: "The senator perorated in the expected miriamphony as she once again sought to prove to all and sundry that she was not insane." Or "Her miriamphony fooled no one - she swiftly erased all remaining doubts about the state of her reason with her diatribe."

4) nogralese
a) manner of political discourse in which a speaker pretends to agree with one side for as long as they are useful to him.

Used in a sentence: "Day after day, the congressman mollified his opponents with his smooth and unctuous nogralese, catching the unwary by surprise when he later removed them from their posts." Or, "Even his friends begin to flee to remote locations once he starts spouting his nogralese."

5) joedevivre
a) a lifestyle which is devoted to always attempting to please others and never having to choose between right and wrong

Used in a sentence: "His joedevivre caused his eventual downfall, as the electorate finally saw him for what he truly was." Or, "His joedevivre forced him to consistently refuse to play a simple game of chess, because there are no gray areas on a chess board."

6) dequirose
a) having a Quixotic bent
b) used to describe one who is constantly vilified by critics for his insistence that all public officials must be held accountable, regardless of which sector of society they belong to or who they are connected to.

Used in a sentence: "Despite virulent ad hominem attacks, the writer remained dequirose, steadfast in his convictions."
