Palinize

When someone answers a question without any form of intelligence or foresight. In an attempt to divert from giving a correct answer and in the process sounding unintelligible.

"Hey mat, have you seen my 50 dollars I left on the counter?"
"Well Tia, im not going to answer that question the way you want me to , but doggonit, I betcha, if we put our heads together we can come to some conclusion as to why money is even green to begin with."
"Mat , do me a favor and don't Palinize me!

palined

1. To flub, fail or otherwise stumble in response to simple, predictable questions in an interview; to give an off-topic and incoherent or syntactically suspect response to a simple, pre-dictable question in an interview; to do likewise in any other human endeavor. 2. To fabricate an untruth, that is easily verifiable as such, in response to a question for which one does not know the answer.

Katie asked Sarah what newspapers she read but Sarah totally palined and said "Entertainment Tonight!"

Palinize

1. The act of firing people who divorce your family members.
2. To use your publicly elected powers for evil.
3. The ability of being able to point out Real America from Fake America

1. Judy was totally Palizined from her job after she divorced Stan, and then Stan and the boss went out drinking to celebrate!
2. I voted for Senator Washington, but I don't understand why he has to Palinize everything. I probably won't vote for him again.
3. Scott calculated the Rule of Palinization to determine that Portland, Oregon is not part of Real America.

As Bruce Springsteen said at a recent concert at which he and Billy Joel performed:

"Billy and I have rehearsed a little, ...
You have to sort of Palinize your expectations. We seem like we know a lot, but we don't, really.' "

palinizing

The art of distraction with the goal of diverting attention away from a fault and towards the glittering veneer of hollow talking points which dazzle but do nothing in terms of answering the question presented.

Sarah Palin is really good at palinizing, and does it every time someone asks her a question. I think that's why it's called "palinizing."
