New Word of the Day

I'm a fan of many of the 'word a day' lists.

My coworker just came up with a new word of the day for us to spread:

Palin - to derail a conversation in an attempt to steer said conversation to a topic you feel more comfortable with.

Example:

Anthony: "Matt - how do we change these settings?"

Matt: "Well, I was talking to HR the other day and they said that our bonuses might be in the next check."

Anthony: "Don't Palinate."
