word of the day, because i say so

Not just a shitty car anymore...

fiat
Pronunciation: 'fE-&t, -"at, -"ät; 'fI-&t, -"at
Function: noun
Etymology: Latin, let it be done, 3d singular present subjunctive of fieri to become, be done -- more at BE
1 : a command or act of will that creates something without or as if without further effort
2 : an authoritative determination : DICTATE (a fiat of conscience)
3 : an authoritative or arbitrary order : DECREE (government by fiat)

Fiats are, in my opinion, the specialty of the current administration.

And here's a bonus latin phrase of the day, because it seemed to come along with the merriam webster definition of fiat I just looked up. Enjoy. Two for the price of one:

fiat justitia, ruat caelum
Pronunciation: "fE-"ät-yus-'ti-tE-ä "ru-"ät-'kI-"lum
Etymology: Latin
: let justice be done though the heavens fall

Amen.
