Pirots refudiate frumiously

From online source:

""refudiate" is a blend of "repudiate" (roughly, "disavow") and "refute" (roughly, "disavow")."

"I can't make any sense of this tweet unless Palin actually thinks "refute" means "disavow"."

"Maybe, at best, "argue against"–you can certainly refute by arguing against, but they're hardly synonymous."

"If I'm not mistaken, you can't "refute" a plan."
