NITBAFS 

An acronym for the phrase "not intended to be a factual statement." This phrase was made famous by US Senator John Kyl in his response to getting caught telling a lie about Planned Parenthood in the well of the US Senate. He somehow believed this explanation made lying acceptable.

John Kyl always tells the truth.*

Huck 

To sanitize a great literary work to conform with the politically correct language of the day.

I hear they are removing the "N" word from the school versions of Huckleberry Finn. What will they HUCK up next - take all the curse words out of Catcher In The Rye?

breitbart

verb: To deliberately slander individuals or organizations though the use of selectively edited video released to the news media. Genesis: Andrew Breitbart used selectively edited video to slander the organization ACORN and Shirley Sherrod in the mainstream press. Once both of the full tapes were viewed, the allegations were proven false. The frequency of this technique shows an intent to deceive and a pattern in Mr. Breitbart's behavior.

Fox News destroyed the reputations of Shirley Sherrod and ACORN. Who will they breitbart next?
