blankenhorn

(v): to review one’s own work with a view to giving it a stamp of approval and authority.

Etymology: from David Blankenhorn, supposed "expert" witness for proponents of California's Proposition 8, who has almost no true peer-reviewed work. See prop8trialtracker.com/2010/01/26/liveblogging-day-11-part-iv/ and the comments there.

Blankenhorny

a Blankenhorny argument is an argument with no rational basis or with no RELIABLE bases at all, simply based on personal believe or hearsay or THE INTERNET and in 99% total crap.
