Weasel Words The Art of Saying What You Don't Mean
Author: Mario Pei
A weasel word (the term arose about 1900 and was popularized by Theodore Roosevelt in 1916) is an equivocal word, one meant to deprive a statement of its force or evade direct commitment, one that retreats from taking a direct or forthright position. These days [1978] our world is full of weasel words.
