Lewinksy

Created by: jedijawa

Pronunciation: lew-in-ski

Sentence: Bob Roberts told a lewinsky in his comments to the press yesterday because he so desperately needed for the lie to be true.

Etymology: Derived from B.Clinton's excessive bending of the truth (i.e. lying) in the Monica Lewinksy scandal. I liked the guy anyway but he had a gift for "the lewinsky".
