////// note: So this is a made up word from S01E20 of Aaron Sorkin's "The West Wing". I was surprised it wasn't in here! Since it'll likely only be searched by people who are into the show, I'm making some references to the scene that I think people would find amusing. The example sentences also have some callback references to the series.... anyway the guidelines say "you're writing for a general audience" so hopefully this is within bounds... Feel free to cut the obscure stuff or however you think it should be changed. Thanks for your work! It's such a great and fun resource!
