Anyone notice that Boris has now turned into Bush - telling Jacqui Smith not to "scarify" people?

It is a word, but only to do with scarring. He was referring to "scare" + "-ify", which is not a word.

I disagree with him - but that's politics.

i.e. - to scare
The Conservatives - the hippest party around.

There is actually a definition in the Oxford English Dictionary for 'Scarify', i have checked. It means simply to 'frighten'. It's origin is from the 18th century so that's probably exactly why Boris uses it and no one else has even heard of it.
