Hollywood Riot

After prolonged and widespread abuse of the term “maverick,” (once defined as “one who doesn’t follow the rules”) by McCain, Palin, and their supporters, Merriam-Webster Dictionary has officially decided to change the definition.

Spokesman Fred Webster tells Hollywood Riot, “Listen, we just can’t take it anymore. The VP debate was the last straw. I think Palin said “maverick” 12 times. I kept thinking, if she says “maverick” one more time I’m going to pull my hair out. And then she’d say it one more time. Needless to say, my head really hurts today and I may need hair plugs now. But that’s beside the point. The point here is that the word is not being used as was intended. And since we’re Merriam-fucking-Webster, we’re changing the definition to fit the new use by and for John McCain.”

The new definition for “maverick” is as follows:

“A mildly-retarded douchebag”

Webster states that the secondary definition, “an unbranded range animal,” still applies and can be used interchangeably in this case.

“Now whenever McCain or Palin uses the word “maverick” to describe him or herself it will still be annoying as hell, but at least we’ll be in agreeance as to what it means,” says Webster.
