Bushisms: Where Wings Take Dream

[ feed | comment feed | cloud | sort:  alpha / order added ]
Bushonics is so much more than neologisms and nonstandard agentive endings. He has brought malapropism, pleonasm, catachresis, solecism, and utter gibberish to new heights. Not to mention the thinning of the boundary between colloquial and formal speech, the liberal use of misplaced modifiers, and general disregard for the rules of subject-verb agreement.

Here, we pay a small tribute to his dumbing down of the American ear. For a more extensive look behind his genius, go here.

Thanks, kad, for 'uninalienable'. It also opened up an avenue to a few more gems.

Yes, sadly, these come from actual quotes. You can find the references for them all over the web. The only exception is strategery, which was coined by Will Farrell in a send-up of W on SNL. It's rumored the the president loved it so much, he adopted it and it became part of the White House vernacular.

Did Bush actually say all of these, or are you just making them (or some of them) up? Hilarious, anyway!

Thanks, inkhorn. I'll take that compliment in stride. :)

Wow. If anyone needs a definition of "upbraid", we have an example. ;)

Thanks, uselessness. 'subliminable' led me to finding a few others as well!
