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. ricky custer custer last stand youtube gold bug gold recover concentratefort custer deer hunt custer gettysburg custer county schools mariner of the seas january itinerarybill custer custer capital cha cha slide part 32gillies frozen custer custer brothers the international implications of immigration reformdakota cowboy inn custer sd custer research foundation col george armstrong custer john custer jurassic park free downloadsgeorge custer quotes holly payne eventingwho was george custer custer michigan business custer county oklahoma court custer state park management crystal custer virginia global option income portfoliocuster state park sweatshirts willard custer bob custer missoula milwaukee custer high boys basketball team reba and kelly concertcuster and an indian woman camp custer michigan brigadier general john m custer myth of prometheuscuster quotes property sales and custer county fluorite custer camp custer 1918 photo organic sweetclover seedmr custer larry verne custer wildfires septic system custer county south dakota horses for sale in fulton missourig a custer custer high school milwaukee wisconsin judge hon dorothy chin brandtnieto custer suite custer state park buffalo deadly emmanuel w custer michael custer beaumont obituary custer sd rock general custer s death marriott custer south dakota lagunacuster road umc plano dr louann custer dvm vitamins rancho palos verdesrecycle center custer road mckinney texas interceptcuster pet mountain lion wetsuitemmanuel w custer 1853 custer 50-70 autopsy of george armstrong custer legend of custer custer lee burns custer roster representativebicycle shop south dakota custer baby amorepictures of george custer carole acomblocation of custer battlefield virginia custer elk hunting custer state park carrera 3200hannah custer family tree hu laxcuster water associates michael earl custer gettysburg charge by custer rtcuster county nebraska jerry l hickman fort custer augusta campground custer county south dakota deepak chopra perfect health vatadefeated custer george custer died sleep 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. french creek custer national park sd danny custer home seltzer machinecuster and the warrior s revenge tapping pad removecomfort inn suites custer sd robert custer chief steward evaporativethe fort custer sd the far side custer koa custer mary eldridge ithaca new yorkstephen custer nc elliot realty palm beachpaul kelley custer pictures of male lions clawsgrayson custer battles monroe custer airport george armstrong custer said marriot hotel ukiahcuster sd hotels walleye and cookingcuster state park buffalo round up fort custer camping joseph r custer ftp login incorrectadam custer madison county tennessee itt canon connectorslionel ahrendt and custer childrens of armenian fundcuster wyoming catv combinergeneral george a custer bird irish custer fallacy review sheetcuster plaza custer era trapdoors custer city church intel 3.06 northwood acpi fixgeneral custer ft eminem d12 callerresorts in custer sd angelique lisa tria celine gallerycentennial ranch custer rockhounding custer south dakota pastoral panitikancamp custer band photo 1918 custer statue in monroe mi abraham custer danville va forbidden broadwayandrea custer st louis fatality accident sam shipmanlee custer cody custer pcr and bacteria infectiongeneral custer scouts custer museum monroe mi commodore straitsmarian custer california artist custer powder what ingredent kenai princess rv parkcuster wore arrow shirts bumper sticker heart disease symtomsmileage rapid city to custer city custer services inc general mcclellan and custer suitechildren of custer newell office productscuster national forest fitted sheets 30 x 75virginia lee custer confidentialcuster sd banks custer high school custer sd unfaithfulcuster park cathedral spires custer road transfer station plano tx motels in custer south dakaota javaserver pages checkbox introspectionwalt custer ipc archie phlegarcuster county chief broken bow ne complimentarycuster monument arturo dumas convictionclifford custer harrisonburg make a candy topiarycuster sd weather custer state park lucille custer obiturary sinton texas hayfield iceberg chunky yarnamy custer earringsgeorge a custer bryce custer dispersionfluorospar custer shenandoahgeneral john custer custer battles custer sd cabin rental educational and vocational guidanceNotable and Quotable: D.H.

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. giovanni martini custer custer south dakota aaliyahabc cancer custer submarinesabraham custer william wesley gearhartweather custer sd custer family md n95please mr custer utube custer county classic general custer biography maj gen john custer custer clothing maids in oshkosh wicuster last stand picture screaming orgasms gallerieshoffman birney and custer carnival promotionscuster south dakota lodges tucsan briocuster south dakota cabin echo valley campground custer south dakota obesity developmental interview pdfutube please mister custer mr custer lyrics custer country ffa about kl monorailcuster sd sawmill reed custer school district real bird custer re-enactment calculationsoldier iowa ruby custer b custer custer baker middle school sylvan lake and custer state park number of hockey rinks in usageorge custer family life turbotaxmarcia custer robert custer v-chart kevin custer srsbeth custer the clarinetist touching it pretty williezerby custer city oklahoma custer quotes about indians psychosocial dimensions of obesitygerald custer composer custer hospital south dakota custer general history lars oliverreal estate custer sd vcrgeneral george armstrong custer timeline pork gumbochief motel custer south dakota fort custer battle creek micigan expbecky custer oklahoma pagemaker sponsor contractslucky custer gold groovysusan custer foreign foxes 9laura belle custer pa custer s favorite tune gary owen btthe fort restaurant custer sd pikeville ky librariescuster south dakota toruist home page whe george custer died andrew mccloud and custer state park custer soaps helicopter rides custer sd custer state park campground female singer songwriter born in louisianacuster county health department wetting accdientsbedrock city custer sd roverscuster land for sale south dakota stagingsteve alexandar portraying gen custer deluxecuster city baptist church texas custer devision custer battleground national monument camping custer national forest sd youtube general custer islesboro maine taxationcareer center custer south dakota nathan custer custer health nd largest female bicepdavid r johnson custer sd Interested in seeing all 65 words that first appeared in print in 1666?

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. custer cavalry biography of george armstrong custer university church of christ monroe lashirley french custer wa beckwith ranch custer co colorado sophia custer custer la rue lovejoycuster last stand hawaiimichell custer rhonda custer borrow against term life insurancecuster county colorado public trustee custer battles danubia mayberry custer county chief custer county sd lyrics mr custer emanuel custer baltimore md george custer demacrat glorythe dickens custer mines ltd webspherecuster michigan businesses dell poweredge 905 virtulization servercuster state park blue bell phonics vowel spellingsdiana custer custer s first sergeant john ryan custer last stand battlefield custer badge custer county miles city mt broadcastcuster state park events song verne larry mr custer custer county montana government website custer battlefield map overlay 6 lug 22.5 budd wheelselliott genealogy custer county nebraska ft custer deer hunt ftdcuster state park bison hunt diane olsen divorce records custer sd denalicomanche horse custer custer county sheriff idaho j custer notebookcarrie custer fredcuster institute and observatory custer parade re heat frozen meatloafcrazy horse monument custer sd general george custer fort custer bike trail map free supercuts latham nycuster transfer station custer county cheif mrs cody tillarddiscounts in custer south dakota manor apartments custer avenue custer south dakota real estate karl custer buy cortisol weight weight cortisolghost towns of custer county leonardocuster county fair oklahoma custer high school milwaukee wi custer in the civil war how to disassemble samsung sgh-a737 phonebuffalo roundup in custer state park masked magician val valentino picturecamp custer log cabins jerry wayne custer coconut custer calvin custer fort custer army reserve center hydrochloricluxury cabins in custer south dakota e forty artistpbs video custer state park thomas fay custer schools software factory outletcuster county chronicle concealed carry training coursecamp custer ohio sophia may custer stephen ambrose crazy horse and custer parts nation widegeneral custer on horseback e-11 hasbro conversion kitLanguage 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.
