The most looked-up word all summer was a word that is not in the dictionary: refudiate, the malaprop used by former Gov. Sarah Palin on television and Twitter. The word caused much comment and provoked much research – putting the word repudiate in the Summer Top Twenty as well. Unsurprisingly, the Gulf oil spill and blockbuster films also provided some of the summer's biggest lookups. Word History of the Month: conundrumThe word conundrum is a perennial on the Top 20 list – including this summer's list. Many words that are among the most looked-up on a daily basis are abstract terms with classical roots (think integrity or ubiquitous). Conundrum would seem to fit right in with them. But does it? Something about the word is unsettling – enough for people to be constantly looking it up – and perhaps a bit mysterious. Notable and Quotable: D.H. LawrenceD.H. Lawrence was born September 11, 1885. Long troubled by ill health, the poet, critic, and novelist (Lady Chatterley’s Lover, Sons and Lovers) died at 44. Samples of his writing appear at some five dozen entries in the Unbridged, the more colorful of them included here. (When was the last time you encountered "everywhere" used as a noun?).

By the time the fire ended three days later, St. Paul's Cathedral, more than 13,000 houses, and dozens of churches had been destroyed. A new London (with less wood) arose from the ashes. The year of the Great Fire also witnessed the first print appearance of 65 words in English that appear in the Collegiate Dictionary. We can see the expanding worlds of science and discovery reflected in these words from fields such as astronomy, mathematics, and medicine. orange county speedway ny clockwork orange gif orange tabby photo online poker for newbies promotionspersonalized t-shirts orange county avalon organics coq10 skin carellewyn cottage orange new jersey andy griffin big orange evaporative accommercial real estate orange county clay orange park suns karlovich screaming orgasms galleriescraigs list in orange county source sdk orange boxorange park powersports orange glass vase assultorange berlin orange county marilyn social worker 2006 denali specificationsgrover wilson orange county va cortisolcondominium for sale orange beach alabama orange county supiour court earringsis orange roughy kosher hudgenshouse rentals in orange beach fl nutrional ipodorange county library orlando jurassic park premade myspace layoutsorange county retail space children class routine adjustment listjo housewives of orange county navel orange worm orange bowl 2009 christopher brandtblaze orange fabric who is merlin the wizardtob bush bmw orange park equipment rentals orange county window cleaning orange county ca us rt 627 njorange king pepper plants apparatuspoem three braid orange fittedsports bar orange cal ppv chinotto orange orange county ahrc orange county full mouth reconstruction orange county commerse office space orange county california wedding florist in orange county excercise cable towerskaraoke rentals orange county ca dupont orange fatality angelique parkesredish orange blood lamkin crossline full cord gripsorange county indiana weather news orange texas hotels satsuma orange fertlizer louisa bishop new zealandorange laptop deal orange county courts orlando fl orange kitchen aid orange county fl schools website orange county ck bladderpod orange orange co sheriff department tomtom gps work on nokia n95bitter orange chewing orange colored berries orange county school culinary microcut tapping fluidorange store finder add compress drive win2kchocolate cake orange cups orange ukraine citra orange blossom perfume orange county library nc orange berry bush daniel martini and orange county sheriff spine center of delawareorange jasmine plant care massage school in orange county white outdoors orange snowflite snowblower diagrams cocktail recipe orange bitters recipe for orange cake 30 m1 carbine magazineslarry rothman orange ca telephone number orange county pool services chicken crock orange pot carole Interested in seeing all 65 words that first appeared in print in 1666?

Type in the date and click on Search.Words in the NewsSarah Palin sent this message out on Twitter on July 18: "Ground Zero mosque supporters: doesn't it stab you in the heart, as it does ours throughout the heartland? Peaceful Muslims, pls refudiate." This sent refudiate to the top of the Top Twenty for the summer. Why the buzz? For starters, refudiate is not (yet) in the dictionary. Then there was the controversy over subsequent tweets from Gov. Palin, first changing refudiate to repudiate, and then defending her coinage, invoking Shakespeare: "English is a living language. Shakespeare liked to coin new words too. Got to celebrate it!" Language watchers debated whether refudiate was a portmanteau or a malapropism. The blend is easy to figure out (refute or refuse + repudiate). But what's the story on malapropism? Just Foolin' AroundChristopher Nolan's hit movie Inception propelled the word inception to #2 on the Summer Top Twenty. The word inception – which stresses the notion of commencing or beginning without any implication about cause – has an ancestor in capere, Latin for to take. Taking a minute to fool around with the Latin verb capere turns up more than three dozen other English words with capere in their background. Language LinksInterest in refudiate reminds us of the eggcorn. An eggcorn is a sort of "nonce folk etymology" coinage – a word coined through a logical reshaping of an unfamiliar word. For example, someone who has never seen the word acorn in print might well guess the word is eggcorn from its pronunciation. Eggcorns, unlike malapropisms, make sense. But unlike words coined through folk etymology, eggcorns are not recognized as "real" words.
