Witness the Birth of a Word

dixie-chicked		vt.  [ Am. neologism,
2003, past participle] to become the subject of ridicule and economic loss by alienating a constituency, customers, friends, or allies through ill-considered words or deeds; as, France has been dixie-chicked by the Am. public because of its obstruction of Am. policy, or reflexively as, France dixie-chicked itself by electing an idiot for president.

Etymology:

The apparent first published use of the term dixie-chicked  was in a report by columnist Matt Drudge on his web site http://drudgereport.com on March 27, 2003 10:03:25 ET where a top studio source at Dreamworks said,  "We don't want to get dixie-chicked, or anything like that, out of the gate. We've invested tens of millions of dollars in the making of the movie and its marketing."  (See the report here)

This is a plausible original first use because entertainment people are creative in their use of language and are painfully aware of an event that evoked the use of the word. (Read about it here)

Intent on stemming a rapid decline of pure French usage, the French Culture Ministry's General Commission on Terminology and Neology announced a ban on the term E-mail. 

The Academie Francaise is an organization fighting to keep English words out of the French language.  What a futile endeavor in a world where new words are invented daily.   By the time the French decide on a suitably pure French word, history and technology have passed them by.
