Passing thoughts on the meaning of "pundits"…
posted by Bill Arnett @ 2:41 PM Permalink …struck me this morning as I pondered what color paludamentum to wear today (I write with some very brainy people here, so I thought I'd throw in something for them).It turns out that the word "pundit" is defined as: a scholar; authority on a subject; interpreter of Hindu law; learned Brahmin (Hindu). (Definition from the Oxford Dictionary of Foreign Words and Phrases)
Seems to me that hardly any of the TV pundits are scholars or an authority on a subject, so by default that makes them an interpreter of Hindu law or a learned Brahmin (Hindu).
I did not know that.
