I propose that we coin a new word- 'pundint'.
Since half everybody says it that way anyway, from Sean Penn to Sarah Baracuda, we should just accept 'pundint' as a new pronunciation, like we've come to accept nukular and fertography.

That is all.

7. Over at Huff Po I caught this one in the comments section
discussing Airhead Sarah - Palindrone, someone who talks on and on without saying anything meaningful or cogent, using words without context or meaning, striving desperately to sound "smart" and informed when actually providing concrete evidence of the exact opposite. (ie Miss South Carolina). Airhead to a "T." Can we add this one to our vernacular?

8. Washington Post has a contest every year...
...challenging people to make up words and definitions. I forget what it's called, and don't know when they have it.

But this one should definitely be an entry!

Adding it to my own lexicon, at any rate... :-)

10. I love it!
How about Palinspedition- a wandering, confused and incomprehensible series of words strung together that sound like they mean something but actually go nowhere.

12. If we continue down this path, the US will have it's own distinct language in a few more decades.
Don't mean to cast asparagus, but the pundints is concerned about tersts and nukular stuff.
