Lol Hankster, it's a real word..! I've more often seen it used in terms of erroneously mixing up meanings rather than just mixing up words though, so I'm surprised to now notice that the latter is listed as its primary definition. Guess that's its origin.
I forgot about Palin's refudiate tho.. blast from the past, thank you.
