LPR has heard that Jeff Bezos, the new – and fabulously wealthy – owner of The Washington Post has directed a probe of the life of Donald J. Trump by a crew of 20 Washington Post reporters. This has suggested a neologism and variations to LPR. (LPR realizes that while the neologism came to mind May 11, others no doubt have also had this thought and may have gotten into the public arena first on this matter.)

The neologism: to bezos; to use a portion of one’s wealth to create a crew of no less than 20 persons to investigate the life of a presidential candidate for purpose of dredging up muck that will defeat said candidacy. The target is the bezosed, or bezosee. The people doing the bezosing are bezosers.

The amount of money it costs to bezos a candidate is the bezosing bounty. As of this writing, it is not clear if the bezosing bounty is a taxable event to the beneficiary of the bezoding bounty, to wit: the candidate running against the bezosee.
