Instapundit asks, "retromingent?"

This hails from a Jonah Goldberg's OpinionJournal - essay this weekend.

I have seen the word one time, but, given its provenance and the fact that Goldberg uses it as an insult in his essay, I am inclined to believe that he read the same book. The book was The Spike by Arnaud De Borchgrave and Robert Moss.. Note also that Goldberg's essay was on Liberal influence on the media and that the De Borchgrave book was about the media''s practice of "spiking" certain anti-communist news stories.

Retromingent? According to De Borchgrave, it means "backward urinating."

Now you know.
