Just been reading some of the reviews and comments about the Nye/Ham debate, and I’ve come to the conclusion our vocabulary needs a new word to adequately describe some of what we’re getting from the anti-science side. And that word is….
regurgibate (ree-GUR-ji-bate) v. To take an obscene delight in spewing or spitting up whatever one has been fed, undigested. “Though normally easy to talk to, he can’t defend Genesis without regurgibating creationist tropes that have been debunked time and time again.”
I hereby release this word into the public domain, in hopes that it will prove useful.
I like that. Regurgibate.
It has an aptly disgusting feel to it.
Excellent 🙂
This behavior certainly sets itself apart enough to warrant a separate term. I think I’ll stick with argumentum ad pabulum, though.
