  daffynition   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
A daffynition is a pun format involving the reinterpretation of an existing word, on the basis that it sounds like another word (or group of words).
Daffynitions are popular with children, due to their ease of creation.

 "Unemployment"
Many people who don't have jobs, haven't been able to get a job for a while, and have no prospects of getting a job any time soon, aren't "unemployed" by the U.S. gov't daffynition.
If they didn't jigger the statistics then the truth would be obvious: the U.S. economy is moribund -- as evidenced by all those "troops" now in Iraq, Afghanistan and Kuwait because they were unable to find a real job or get a real education.
(That's why I said 'the U.S. gov't DAFFYNITION', emphasis added.) And the Bush/Cheney gamble on cheap Iraqi oil didn't pay off, so now, as the rest of our "coalition" is quite sensibly bugging out, the hawks are claiming we need to throw more troops, and more money, at their problem.

 Maverick Philosopher: Hypocrisy
For on that definition, all who espouse high moral standards would be hypocrites.
Since to fall short is human, this definition (‘daffynition’) implies that the only way to avoid hypocrisy is to renounce high moral standards, a course of action seemingly pursued by many nowadays.
No one can call you a hypocrite if you have no standards, or standards that are easily satisfied.
