Welcome to another tongue-twisting episode of Word Woman's Weekly Work-Out! Now it's time to start flexing those mental muscles with the Word of the Week. In recognition of the fact that less than six months remain before the presidential election, here is another political term:
Repubocrat: (noun) A Republican who behaves like a Democrat, or vice versa. See also Demopublican. -- "Hatchet Jobs and Hardball: The Oxford Dictionary of American Political Slang", Grant Barrett, ed., Oxford University Press, 2004.
Example: The debate left the voters so up in the air as to the candidates' positions on the issues that they didn't know whether to vote Repubocrat or Demopublican in the election.
