Nifty > Word of the Day: Glennuendo

Glennuendo - n. The offhand blog comments of Glenn Reynolds.

Used in a sentence: "Using an economics model, I would also posit that people tend to invest less thought and effort into materials that would be reviewed by peers, for instance. For instance, the Glennuendo that one reads at Instapundit is several leagues below the worst exam paper Glenn Reynolds wrote at Yale."

Heh. Indeed. Read the whole thing.

Actually, Glennuendo was first defined a couple of years ago in the Wingnut Debate Dictionary on Atrios' site.(can't find the original, but it's mirrored here: http://www.geocities.com/scfifreak/rwingnut.html)

Glennuendo (n.)
- The act of drawing a darkly ominous inference from an opponent's failure to discuss a political issue. From Reynolds, Glenn.

Also,
Disinglennuousness (n.)
- The practice of saying, after the fact, that just because you linked to something outrageous with 'THIS IS INTERESTING' or 'EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS', you don't necessarily agree with the linked sentiments, their having been exposed as utter pig-bollocks.

And this, too:
