Background Information: Bushisms
[Top]
In American English, a Bushism is a word or phrase unique to the style of President George W Bush while speaking publicly & usually extemporaneously. Adding agentive endings to words not usually accustomed to such treatment, such as suiciders, game changer & truth teller. Splicing words together in unusual combinations, such as misunderestimated & musta couldve. Odd sentence agreement, such as We had a chance to visit with Teresa Nelson whos a parent & a mom or a dad. Quotes from Bushs speeches that create an impression of incompetence are often called Bushisms. Many quotes, sometimes taken out of context, seem to imply that Bush has significant misconceptions about geography, history, political processes & the world in general. There is no easy way to tell how many of the quotes reflect Bushs actual knowledge & opinions & how many are merely results of verbal mishaps, but that has not stopped some of Bushs critics from using a number of embarrassing mistakes in efforts to discredit him.
