Slatisms
Stuart Buck, noting how often Slate’s Bushism feature gets it wrong, coins two new phrases:
1. “Slate-ism,” which means “a snide attribution of error to someone else on grounds that are shown to be obviously and indisputably false by anyone who does any fact-checking whatsoever.”
2. “Slatenfreude” (related to schadenfreude), which means “taking delight in pointing out an especially idiotic Slatism.”
Heh.
