Regeorgiatate

Regeorgiatate: verb. The word regeorgiatate has several meanings which are derived from the degree to which the word is taken literally.
1. At the most literal level, to regeorgiatate is to bring the swallowed parts of Georgia back into the mouth. This is a quite natural reaction to eating soil.
2. At at an intermediately literal level, to regeorgiatate is to give back parts of Georgia without really understanding them. An example of this would be a farmer returning a field to another farmer without realising that it sits on top of a massive oil well.
3. More abstract is the regeorgiatation of the state itself - a process whereby Georgia cleanses itself of foreign parts and becomes fully Georgian once more. While this tends to be associated with abstract socio-economic notions, it is sometimes also taken at face-value to denote processes like the water cycle.
