I heard the skinny guy on MSNBC the other morning use the word "prejudge" |
|
about the hurricane, as in "We don't want to prejudge when and at what category the hurricane will be"
Until the Repubs brought out that stupid phrase, I don't think I ever heard it before and it's silly that it is entering into common usage.

1. Where do you think the word "prejudice" came from? |

4. Not talking about the dictionary origins of the word but it's entry into |
|
common usage, including using it for comments regarding hurricanes.

6. Can't argue with that. |
|
Even though it's a fairly common and unremarkable word.
Now "newsreaders" - I haven't heard that one since I was in the British Isles.
