Freebird

Freebird (v.t.)

The act of intentionally changing the actual results of an election, poll, or group decision by manipulating the final count to reflect the outcome desired by the person tallying the information.

Ex. 1: The senior class president didn’t like the class’ choice of “Free Bird” as their graduation song, so she decided to freebird, replacing it with her favorite.

Ex. 2: The principal freebirded the results of the students’ “Movie Night” vote, choosing a more appropriate movie.

Ex. 3: Ignoring all evidence, the news commentator freebirded statistics on Black Lives Matter, decrying them to be a terrorist organization
