Katie Couric Discusses Wee Weed Up

Posted on August 24, 2009

Katie Couric talks about neology, the invention of new words. The new word she is talking about is "wee wee'd up," which was used recently by President Obama. The President said, "There is something about August going into September where everybody in Washington gets all wee-wee'd up!"

Press secretary Robert Gibbs says the term has to do with people getting "nervous for no particular reason." The President's word already has several entries in the Urban dictionary.
