MAVERICK, MAVERICK, MAVERICK !!!


More people used the word maverick today than ever before. I think between television and real life I heard the word 50 times. And I am not sick of it...at all! That's a little sad...


But nonetheless, here's a definition:


MAVERICK


(măv'ər-ĭk, măv'rĭk) pronunciation

n.


  1. An unbranded range animal, especially a calf that has become separated from its mother, traditionally considered the property of the first person who brands it.

  2. One that refuses to abide by the dictates of or resists adherence to a group; a dissenter.

adj.


Being independent in thought and action or exhibiting such independence: maverick politicians; a maverick decision.
