So much new information — both confirmed and unconfirmed— has emerged today regarding the Michael Brown shooting, that we can all be sure of only one thing: police “exaggerbated” the problem, according to the experts on MSNBC.

OH on MSNBC: "Exagerbated"

Rep. Steve Cohen the Ed show: "… they exagerbated the situation…"

Oh bless, man on MSNBC – you invented a new word: exaggerbated. (exacerbated/exaggerated? )

That’s probably the best guess as to what it means, but this is MSNBC, after all. Coining new terms makes their hosts downright “jiddy.”

The term “Exaggerbated” was just used on @MSNBC. What’s better is the host followed up by agreeing that it was “Exaggerbatory.” #grammarwin
