What Palin-isms have become part of your life?
I found I can get my kids to do just about anything, and all I have to do is threaten to "Palinspeak" (Oh you betcha! There ya'go Joe Sixpack! Come on now Suzy housecoat...when the dishes don't get washed the terrorists win!)

15. I've used a few lines from the campaign on mine.
Yesterday I asked them "Do you think we can quantify the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of water...?" Silence. One student tentatively offered a yes and I did an Obama shout "Yes we can!" There were some chuckles and probably just as many eyerolls.

2. Palinating
I love that new word Palinate, meaning
dodging a question and just making up
your own spiel.

10. That was the slogan of Ballard Bitters
Ballard Bitters, a Seattle microbrew, had the slogan "Ya sure, ya betcha." Now it's known as Redhook Ale and in some places Longhammer Ale.

13. "In what respect," "Oh dear!" (from palinaspresident), and the rambling nonsense that just sort of
Edited on Tue Nov-11-08 11:12 AM by ogneopasno
oozes from one's mouth when one is in the zone.
