Oprah's Birthday-yay

I knew this lady was influential but wow! She hosts the most-viewed talk show in the universe. She helped put a presidential candidate on the map. She's dropped and gained more pounds than Jabba the Hut. But perhaps what she's best known for is inventing a word. Yep, that's right. How many people do you know have actually invented a word?

This video explains...



Happy Birthday-yay to you and your, ahem...
