Then there are 're-refudiate,' (as well as 'unrefudiate'), 'refudiatry,'
'refudiatory, 'refudiatism,' 'antirefudiatism,' 'medifutiate' (what
philosophers do), 'prerefudiate,' and other words as yet unheard in Oxford.

So?
There's
implicature
illocutionary
performative
neustic
phrastic
---- many Oxonian philosophers have been as creative in their vocabulary as
Sarah Palin -- if not more.

"Well, that settles it: Sarah Palin is Shakespeare, and if you think
"refudiate" is a dumb word that doesn't mean anything new, it is because you
are
not celebrating the English language, and are probably some kind of
Mexican."
How many KINDS of Mexicans there are? Actually, 'refudiate', like most
Mexicans, is essentially "Latin".
Mexican for 'refudiate' is 'refudiar' (Italian: refudiare, Latin, refudiare
-- from 'refundo, refudit -- to cast away -- "So when are we supposed to
refudiate the mosque?")
