Function: Noun Synonym: Bully Pulpet Portmanteau Origins: Duncan + Errata In Use: Posted on the U. S. Department of Education website: Lessons from Phase One of Race to the Top, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan stated that winners of the first round of Race to the Top got on board right away with corporate bosses, vulture philanthropies, and unions.
