Wordsmith US Election Words

Most of you might’ve subscribed to Wordsmith‘s ‘A Word A Day‘. I have done so, on my office ID. On days when I receive absolutely no mail due to inactivity for whatever reasons, Wordsmith sends me mail unfailingly, and indicates inbox activity.

Usually, every week, a few words with a common theme are chosen and unleashed, and this week (19th Oct – 24th Oct 2008), the theme was centered around words that appear to have been coined after the US Presidential elections.

Those words include:

  • Obambulate
  • Bidentate
  • Palinode
  • Meeken
  • Barrack

Quite interesting and enlightening, considering how junta here are following the elections so closely. In fact, so much so, Sarah Palin’s expenditure of $150,000 on her outfits was discussed with much passion on our honourable news channels, while there was hardly a peep from them about Madonna’s split from Guy Ritchie. Not that either matters in the greater scheme of things, of course.

Also, it is quite interesting to note how Obama seems to have been ‘threatened’ by Chandrayaan, which is quite weird, considering how they put man on the moon almost fourty years ago.

With the whole world watching and waiting eagerly for Nov 4th, its going to be quite interesting to see how both candidates run the last few laps of their campaign. You can bet that our news channels will do everything in their power to obfuscate from us the actual facts and focus on the minutiae instead.
