refudiate

Verb: "From a strictly lexical interpretation of the different contexts in which Palin has used 'refudiate,' we have concluded that neither 'refute' nor 'repudiate' seems consistently precise, and that 'refudiate' more or less stands on its own, suggesting a general sense of 'reject,' " the New Oxford American Dictionary said in a press release.

refudiate

The sexual act of sodomy while driving a snow mobile. In Alaska, refudiation is a traditional way of settling grudges. The practice began in the mid-19th century when rival oil and mineral speculators would settle claims through an act of sodomy while riding in a dog-sled. Public displays of ritualistic sex brought levity to angry miners and was thought to "reverse the feud" between the two injured parties. After refudiating, it was understood that no further arguments could be made.
