Actually, I’m not wild about either "truthiness" or "Cruisazy."
"Podcast," however, deserves recognition.
And "sudoku" is likely to have legs.
"Pope squatting" may also come back to haunt us some day.
WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT?

Author: Jimmy Akin
Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."

I don’t see why you have an issue with it. It’s a prefectly cromnulent word.

Thanks Dr. Eric! You just made my day.

Here I thought Cruisazy was going to have something to do being really excited about going on a crusade. Somehow I missed the couch-jumping thing.
I feel like I just stepped into the chapter in C.S. Lewis’ “That Hideous Strength” where Babel is revisited.
For those who missed the jump the couch thing, SEE HERE.
or for those that didn’t catch the coining of ‘truthiness’ you can find it on the first episode of Stephen Colbert’s new Comedy Central show. Scroll to the bottom of the list of videos. It’s titled ‘truthiness’ and only plays in Internet Explorer. I reckon it a very funny little bit.
In a more recent episode he made note of the AP article’s complete omission of his coining of the word. Poor guy.
“I don’t know any other public figure who has inspired so many words in a single year,” said Erin McKean, editor of the New Oxford American Dictionary”
I can’t stand the jumped up little twerp and I agree that he could adequately inspire a profusion of words…none of which I would repeat here. Because I’m a nice Catholic girl.
God Bless.
