New Word: Committocracy

Daniel | October 18, 2008

I promise not to make this a regular thing.  I am, however, fairly proud of this word I’ve just made up:

Committocracy:

Pronunciation: \kə-ˈmi- tok- krə-sē\
Function: noun
Date: 2008
Etymology: from the English committee and the Greek -kratia -cracy

1. A government run by committee, where truthiness is more important than fact.
