Word of the day

Chutzpah: 1. From the Yiddish, meaning audacity, effrontery, cheekiness. Example: Murdering one's parents then begging the court for leniency on account of being an orphan.
2. Starting a disaster preparedness consulting firm after messing up the federal response to Hurricane Katrina in a way that could only be called spectacular.
