Palin 

n.

1. Pejorative term that refers to an incompetent, impractical, irrelevant or incapable person who has been appointed to a position of great importance.

2. A person who holds authority disproportionate to his or her requisite ethics and qualifications. Derived from John McCain's controversial 2008 Vice Presidential pick, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.

John was recently made principal, but everybody thinks he's a Palin who can't do the job.

My new boss is such a Palin - he took my deserved place because the CEO is his personal friend.

palin 

1) An agressive, yet dim witted, mammal which reacts with uninformed vitriol to incite other palins to attack.

2) A dwindling, but not quite extinct, hateful and fearful mindset usually found in uneducated rednecks and goatropers in the Southeast and Southwest USA.

Watch out, those palins over there, while retarded are easily provoked.

Watch out Daryl and Evelyn are holding signs with racial slurs. I thing they've got the palin.
