Bush, that came to be known as bushisms, the only requirements for an oxfordism are: 1) it has to be funny. 2) it has to be stupid in nature. 3) it has to never have been said before. The word Oxfordism gives credit to the University of Oxford (the oldest English speaking university) mixed with famous Bushisms stated above.
