Promoted by Jason Springer: Something tells me we could do a whole "Christiespeak" series where we look at what he says and what it really means. Sarah Palin's recent attempt to coin new words for the English language such as "refudiate" is humorous, but easy for the reader to discern her actual meaning. Governor Christie is more subtle, and his bastardization of the English language is a bit more difficult to follow. As a service to Blue Jersey readers, I have started a Chris Christie Dictionary. This can be useful to understand the governor's pronouncements. Feel free to add more definitions in the comments to this post.
