Casual term for a coup
[edit]'Ouster' seems a casual term for a coup devised and used by inhabitants of countries who feel unlikely to ever have to suffer one in their own nations. As far as I am aware it is entirely a US word.--212.100.250.228 (talk) 00:56, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
- The term "ouster" is used extensively in the RS, essentially as a synonym for "coup." See: AP in the US, Reuters UK in the United Kingdom, AFP in France, etc. It is obviously not just a US word. Moogwrench (talk) 17:38, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
The ouster (a person), ousts (removes), with the action being an ousting. The etymology is clear. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.97.224.220 (talk) 20:21, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
