CLYSTER
[KLIS tur]
noun
A clyster is an enema, a liquid injected into the intestines for flushing them out.
Clyster comes from the Greek noun klyster, based on the Greek klyzein (to rinse out). A related noun is clisis, a general medical term for the washing out of any body cavity.
A clyster-pipe is a nozzle for introducing the enema into the body - not a particularly attractive bit of apparatus.
In Shakespeare's Othello (Act II, scene 1), the evil Iago, jealous of Cassio because Othello promoted him to Lieutenant rather than Iago, plans revenge by planting into Othello's head the belief that Cassio and Desdomona, Othello's wife, are lovers.
When Cassio innocently takes Desdemona's hand during a conversation, Iago mutters, in an aside: "He takes her by the palm...it had been better you had not kissed your three fingers so oft...Yet again, your fingers to your lips? Would they were clyster-pipes for your sake!"
Shakespeare could hardly have chosen a nastier image to portray Iago's detestable character!
Had trouble finding a vet for the big horses ... Yeah, the first three were Clydaleshysters.
I fear the need of a clyster so that the impacted Odunga may be purged from my bowels. Esmerelda fetch the clyster-pipe and a bucket of fair trade coffee.
Clymer apparently got his name because of his overwhelming need for a Clyster.
While I am unclear who is the clyster and who the clyster-pipe it is manifestly true an enema is critical if the body politic is to regain its health.
Keep in mind the clyster is a purgative for the poison that infests and infects us.
We need a bogle for the glotch.
"I got it,I got it....a crooked oyster"
Do you suppose, that in the dictionary definition of clyster, we would find pictures of Slick Willie, Hildebeast and the Obungler?
Hillary’s pet name for Huma: is “My Little Clyster”
If you think about it for a moment, the US goobermint is just one big clysterfuck.
This is surprisingly tough. I was originally going to say that Philly is going to be filled with Clysters, but I’m thinking Trump might be the clyster. After all, the purpose of a clyster is to get RID of the sh*t. Yeah, it’s not something for polite company; it’s for your own health. And if you’re afraid to let it get dirty, it just doesn’t work.
IOW:
What this town needs is a good enema.
Name reminded me of Adam Clymer, a reporter who has a past here years back. Don’t ask me for details, though. Too late to think that far back.
Hillary Clinton has Clysterphobia. She’s full of $hit but wont do anything about it.
“We have met the enema and the enema is us.” Pogo stole that from Clyster...
Clyster-pump
rhymes with Trump
flushing out the RINOs
from the body politic.
From his Wikipedia entry:
Born to children's book author Eleanor Clymer (née Lowenton) and Kinsey Clymer, [Adam Big Time"] Clymer attended The Walden School in Manhattan and then Harvard College, receiving an A.B. in 1958.
As the Progressive Chatterbox said, a clymer is "at best a minor-league asshole."
The Republican party has had a clyster
with the nomination of the Trumpster
they were full of shit
bogged down in the pit
But soared when Jeb went in the dumpster.
We need to get this over with so here it is, Cover of "Enema of the State."
LOL. That could well be Esmerelda.
