Word of the day: pabulum
In the United States, former Florida governor Jeb Bush is really struggling to make an impact in his effort to become the Republican candidate in next year’s presidential election.
In an attempt to revive his campaign, he has gone on the attack in relation to his rivals, declaring: “The campaign trail is littered with candidates disguised as television critics. Politicians echoing poll-tested pabulum.”
I wonder how many American voters know what the word “pabulum” means?!? I had to look it up. Apparently it means “bland or insipid intellectual fare”.
