As referenced from the Concise Oxford Dictionary:
Bastardize v. to declare (a person) illegitimate.
Also, when I entered it in Microsoft Word using "Australian English", guess what? Bastardize.
For those that don't know, dictionaries are compiled by people, usually learned folk who have studied 'English' and have PhD's in the field, and this is supervised by an 'English' professor. These people scour current literature (papers, magazines, novels) to add new words and new meanings to old words. So in essence, dictionaries are a slightly behind the times means of seeing what people are saying/doing/thinking. The Oxford dictionaries (there are many) are compiled by the good people at Oxford University...I personally can't think of a more English academic establishment (except maybe Cambridge).
Bill, are you suggesting that your English is more English than an English English professor? Apart from flying jumbos and building 200 hp 4AGE's, have you been pursuing a PhD in English language history? Fascinating!
