Nearly a decade after George W. Bush said "misunderestimated" in a speech, Philip Hensher called the term one of his "most memorable additions to the language, and an incidentally expressive one: it may be that we rather needed a word for 'to underestimate by mistake'." I could not agree me! In the interest of recognizing the valuable addition made by 43rd President George W. Bush to the English lexicon, I hearby petition the curators of the Oxford English Dictionary to include the following in its forthcoming editions: misunderestimate., noun 'to underestimate by mistake'.
