We all know what "santorum" is. Please define this word: "palin".

[ColbertWatcher]

(EDITED TO ADD)

The word "santorum" was created by Dan Savage as a memorial to former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum (R). Senator Santorum shares similar backward ideas about the world with Sarah Palin.

I am suggesting we find a way to define a word based on a failed political figure such as Santorum and Bork.

(END EDIT)

If you aren't sure what santorum is, please google it, but not at work. Wait until you get home.

Oh, and don't check in front of the kids either.

Hillary Clinton is no palin.

Used in that context, how would you define it?

4. Palin - Can't be something pleasurable

Has to be something involving an act that Sarah would overwhelmingly disapprove of or the result of that act.

Unfortunately santorum is taken.

Or something scatological - "If you're walking by the pig pen, be careful not to step in the palin."

And because I know this is going to happen - IBTL

:rofl:

[ColbertWatcher]

5. No. Don't say this thread will be locked!

16. (Pretty gross) A palin is a medical term for when a

tampon "gets lost" in a vagina and the doctor has to find the string and remove it. Also refers to the procedure used to remove said tampon, i.e: Palinectomy, as well as the odor created from it, palinodorous.

"The girls dormitory bathroom smells palinodorous."

Rude nurse yelling down hallway in clinic: "Doc! We got another palin! I'll get a speculum and air freshener!"

"My insurance doesn't cover palinectomies."

[ColbertWatcher]

Just as bad.

But different.

27. Palin: The paleontological term for human footprints...

Palin (noun):
The paleontological term for human footprints alleged to be found within dinosaur tracks.

ex:
I saw several excellent examples of palin at the local Creation Science museum. These palin proove that the Earth is, indeed, only 6,000 years old.

And notice that -- much like "moose" -- the word is its own plural!

35. An old man passing his mistress for his assistant

An old man (65 and over), with a young woman, who he pretends is his assistant, while she is completely unfit for the job, is about as smart as a stick, even maybe a few screws short of a hardware store, but she actually is his mistress and even the trophy wife (still younger than the gentleman but much older than the mistress) buys it. Of course everyone around the old man is furious, especially those who were expecting to get promoted into the assitant position.

Examples of the expression:

. "Did you hear about Tiffany? She is the Palin of a CEO in Scottsdale!"; "Oh! Good for her!"
. "Did you see the boss's new Palin? I liked the previous one better."
. "Britney Palined her way through college"
. "Sweetie, you're too dumb for college. Time for Palin 101!"

37. Palin= An individual similar to a "Coulter"

And a Coulter is - as the Bible says - "the dark one shall pose as creature of light". Someone who spews a bunch of random talking points as if they were fact, despite having an IQ of less than 100 and not knowing what those things actually mean.

[alfredo]

38. Palin= dried sputum on a bathroom stall wall.
