What do you know about Bushism?

The term Bushism is a neologism that refers to a number of unconventional words, phrases, pronunciation, malapropisms, and semantic or linguistics errors that have occurred in and defined the public speaking of former United States President George W. Bush and, before that, of his father George W. Bush, also a former president of the United States. The term has become part of popular folklore and is the basis of a number of websites and published books. It is often used to caricature the two presidents. Common characteristics include malapropisms, the creation of neologisms, spoonerisms, and grammatically incorrect subject-verb agreement.
