Shakespalin 

When Twitter users decided that Sarah Palin was not, as she implied, the equivalent to a modern-day Shakespeare, they dutifully gave this term to describe what she probably didn't intend to describe.

Being when you make a mistake, use a word that doesn't exist, then try to claim that English is a "living language" where making up words is all good. It's not, really. We already have lots of really good words. Refudiate isn't one of them.
"I think y'all misunderestimated my refudiation," would be Shakespalin to the max.

Shakespalin 

The art of butchering the English language while at the same time comparing yourself to the Bard.

Coined when Sarah Palin defended her repeated use of the word "refutiated" by Twittering that English was a living language and that even Shakespere made up words!
What the heck kind of word is that? That's very Shakespalin of you!

Power Couple 

A relationship between two people who are equally as cool as each other. They are as individually awesome and fun to be around as they are when they are together.

Neither one depends on the other for their feelings of self worth- they know in their heart that they are just as valuable to the world as the other. Good looking, optimistic, and sparks a light in the world that people recognize that goes beyond a normal relationship.

In a power couple, if one person is flawed, the other person makes up for their weaknesses in strength. Together they are the epitome of what anyone would desire in a relationship. They encourage goodness in the world and make it a better place by being together.
I'm a fan of those two, they are such a power couple, the epitome of what anyone would want in a relationship.

I am envious of them because they are a power couple.
