New Oxford American Dictionary’s 2010 Word of the Year? "Refudiate"


Governor Palin, take your bow.

The definition OUP came up with:

refudiate verb used loosely to mean “reject”: she called on them to refudiate the proposal to build a mosque.
[origin — blend of refute and repudiate]


A better one:

A blend of

Repudiate

and

Refute.

A refutation is a falsification. There is no moral consonance associated with the term.

A repudiation is more of a moral condemnation.

So..

A Refudiation is a demonstration or proof of the falsity of the premises of an action or of a proposition as well as a demonstration or proof that the action or proposition is morally wrong or inadvisable.

Bam. Add it to the Webster's man.
