Palin-drome

Coined by Jon Stewart and a keystone of the Sarah Palin arsenal, this is a political technique in which one complains about "unfair" assertions and criticism made by political opponents, but then proceeds to criticize said opponents in the same, allegedly "unfair" manner.

Also known as the "anchorage steamer" and the "caribou ball-swivel."

See also, hypocrisy.

Sarah Palin - We've been falsely accused of being accessory to murder. This persecution is reprehensible. Blood libel...whatever that means...they're doing it.

Sarah Palin - But, y'know, this shooter may have even been a leftist. People on the left clearly do not like my message and are intent on bringing America to its knees.

Sarah Palin - In fact, if they didn't have their double standards, the left wouldn't have any standards!

Jon Stewart - Why don't we call that an anchorage steamer...or no wait...a PALIN-DROME!

Oh, wait

A phrase used to sarcastically indicate that something which is presumed or hoped for is, in fact, not true.

Typically used in discussions to either insult someone, or to refute an assertion by emphasizing why that assertion is inaccurate.

(As an insult)

*Bill finishes 34th in a marathon*

Dick - Hey Bill, nice job winning first place. Oh, wait.

(As a rebuttal)

Bill - The United States is in a strong state of financial security.

Dick - Yes. Good thing our national debt isn't somewhere around $14 trillion. Oh, wait.
