Jusdom

During the last Democratic debate, Dennis Kucinich accidentally combined two words, and then corrected himself and went on.

The two words were "judgment" and "wisdom". It came out as "jusdom".

I like this unintentional word. I've created a Webster's entry for it:


Main Entry: jusĀ·dom
Pronunciation: 'juz-d&m
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Old English jUsdOm
1 a : accumulated philosophic or scientific learning combined with authoritative opinion : SCHECTERISM
b : ability to discern inner qualities and relationships : UNBUSHOSITY
c
: good sense : ANTI-CHENYABILITY
d
: generally accepted belief with capacity to be sensible :
PROGRESSIDEMOCRATOLOGY
2 : a wise attitude, belief, or course of action created by decree of the courts
: NON-GONZOISM
3 : the teachings of the ancient wise men : OLBERMANNISTICS
synonym see SANITY
antonym see ROVE

Schecterism. I like that one.
Olbermannistics. Love that.
Come to think of it, I love all of them.
You are sooo smart, Laffy.

Sounds kinda dirty. Although it could just be my mood. Be that as it may you might want to add a bit for the dirty minded among us.
Something having to do with Olberman will do nicely.

Oh, come on, now, everyone already knew. We're lousy at keeping our mouths shut. Now I'm going to go and open my brand new tequila, because season three of House is waiting.
