From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A misspeak is not necessarily a colloquialism, even if said by the President

No, but it can become a colloquialism (or something like it) if it passes into wide use. Just browse any discussion forum, especially politcal and technical ones (slashdot, atrios, dailykos for example) and you'll see "internets" used commonly as a derisive way of implying that someone is ignorant about technology. See the talk page for Internets for a do not delete vote by someone who was looking to see why everyone kept referring to "the internets" and found out in this entry. Charles 19:00, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
