Since Rush Limbaugh has adopted this word, which infuriates me, the new definition should be about the use of the word in culture, let's turn it around on him.....
Strategery: verb:the act of attempting to legitimize a word through use in order to convince others to add it to the lexicon. repeating a mistake to make it not a mistake.
successful acts of strategery are Steven Colbert's addition of "truthiness" to the dictionary
This one wasn't made up by Bush himself, but by Will Farrell, playing Bush on SNL. However, it's rumored that Bush loved it so much that he adopted it into his vocabulary, and it became commonplace around the White House.
