stosseled -v- past tense of "stossel" See entry below.
Stossel -v- to ask a short question, often of a skeptical nature, with an over-the-top imitation of John Stossel's voice and tone in a mock-serious manner so as to provoke the phrase (See first example). Oftentimes the question is no more than three to five words long. It is essential that the person watch some of the John Stossel specials to adequetely capture the mannerisms or verbal tones of John Stossel. It is essential that the person puts a horizontal finger or two under the nose in imitation of John Stossel in order to further give the impression that they are "stosseling". The nature of the word is similar to the word "pwn" or "own" though it is done more to provoke laughter than to pwn or own the person.
"stosseled" is a word that is derived from the last name of an ABC reporter named John Stossel. Upon watching one-hour series of "Give Me a Break", students from a high school in College Station started to use the last name of the reporter in the said series as a verb often to highlight a situation where a question is asked in a manner of John Stossel.

To arrange the facts to fit one's beliefs, rather than the other way around. Derived from the name of ABC host John Stossel, who creates journalistic reports that conform to his neoconservative beliefs, rather than assemble facts to create a news story.
We knew he was stosseling when he took the estimate from the autobody shop and claimed that the car could still be rebuilt, even though it was $100 from being totalled.
