The fired candidate in last night's Apprentice had her own unique approach to language - peppering her conversation with such words as "comfortability", "conversate", "manoeuvrement", "professionality" and "teamly". My favourite, though, was after she was fired. She clearly felt that the others had been ganging up against her when she said, "Karmically they'll be retributed."

I made a mental note last night to mention her interesting use of vocabulary here but forgot. Thanks for reminding me! Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life. | |||

Whatever happened to comfort, converse, maneuver, and profession or professional, depending on her context. What did she mean by teamly? Retributed? | |||

By teamly she seemed to mean "in the manner of a team". (She was saying that other competitors weren't acting in a teamly way.) I think that by professionality she meant professionalism. Retributed clearly meant "to receive retribution". "No man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money." Samuel Johnson. | |||
