268. Neologism



Excerpt from, “'Romnesia': Obama Coins Mitt Romney 'Condition'” by Sam Stein, Huffington Post, 10/19/12:

Obama went through a number of other so-called cases, including tax cuts and the coal industry. The neologism [romnesia] got hearty laughs and applause, especially as the president informed the crowd that the condition was covered under his health care law.

Neologism: a newly coined word or expression
