Palin

To ignore a question, and instead, to substitute your own non sequitur. This technique was popularized by Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin in her debate with Joe Biden, and then later emphasized by Tina Fey in her parody of this debate.

Man, you totally pulled a Palin when you responded to the landlord's request for rent with a long tirade on the banks.

Q: Yo did you see what that girl was wearing last night at the club?
A: You mean that topless one with footie pajamas? That shit was too Palin for my tastes.

Palin pad

a brief record of words written in the palm of your hand for reference at a later time.

I wrote down her number on my Palin pad, but then I washed my hands and I can barely see the number.

Pull a Palin

To avoid answering questions directly because you don't know the answer, or you don't want the person to talking to knowing the real answer, and talking about another subject you do know something about, or something to flatter or distract the other person, instead. Also resorting to speaking in talking points, folksy colloquialisms, or buzz words to avoid answering questions while trying to look like you know what you're talking about and to keep from having to give an honest or valid answer.

"I didn't do any research for my oral report on raising chickens so I pulled a Palin and started talking about how to make fried chicken."

"I knew that car salesman was full of crap when he pulled a Palin on every question I asked about the car. The last straw was when I asked him about gas mileage and he just said, 'Little lady, I can tell you all day about how few times you'll need to take this pony to the trough but we ought to close the barn door on it before some eagle eye rustles it up from ya. Why don't we just talk about it in the office while I get the papers ready' I ran as fast as I could.

"When I asked my boyfriend about the rumor he was doing gay porn, he pulled a Palin and mumbled something about my friends trying to pull a smear campaign."

"If he asks you what you were doing afternoon, pull a Palin and talk about your new car and how cute his kids are."

Pullin' a Palin

Instantly contradicting oneself.

Choosing to NOT take "the quitters way out" by QUITTING is Pullin' a Palin.

Claiming that the media is always hounding you, followed by inviting members of the media to join you on a "fishing run" the next day is Pullin' a Palin.

palinized

Being treated like a total idiot by the media for acting/sounding like a total idiot in the media.

Carrie Prejean claimed she was Palinized in her jaw-droppingly inept Larry King interview. She is absolutely right. Her political career will be missed...
