Curiously crazy claims: meet the girl who is said to have coined the word 'Brexit'

We're not going to judge. However, there is a woman going viral all over the Web with a claim that she invented the word 'Brexit'. This woman wants her royalties. No judgements.

Unless you were living under rock somewhere, you will know that the 2015 precursor to Brittons voting to exit the EU was the Greek economic crisis, the so-called "Grexit". The word "Brexit" therefore has quite a familiar ring to it, even if it is used to describe  a different phenom altogether, but one that is nonetheless underscored by membership of the European Union.


Now this woman claims that she is owed money for coining the word "Brexit". Hm. Be sure to share the wealth with Greeks in need when you collect. Again: no judgements.
