Ann Coulter introduces the catch-phrase that will live in infamy: "JOCK-SNIFFER"

Fellow Freepers,

Search for Ann Coulter's latest column, and you'll find she has catapulted herself into a more wonderfully outrageous category of originality and wit.

She's done it with one catch phrase: "Jock sniffer.

Please don't ask me what it means. I can't imagine what it means and I'm not sure I want to try. I'd rather leave this to many more, smarter, Freepers out there in America Land.

Let's focus on this question: What, exactly, in the contect of Ann's most recent column, does this phrase (which I dare not type again) mean? Explain it for us in the most delicate but accurate way possible.

Kindest regards, and still being,

[paulklenk]

Here's a link to this new column, on Ann's site.

By the way, the first person to post an image of the Coulterater wins a bun, or a gun (your choice).

Here's the opening paragraph, to provide a context for this -- this -- phrase Ann has dared to publish:

FORMER Sen. Max Cleland is the Democrats' designated hysteric about George Bush's National Guard service. A triple amputee and Vietnam veteran, Cleland is making the rounds on talk TV, basking in the affection of liberals who have suddenly become jock-sniffers for war veterans, and working himself into a lather about President Bush's military service. Citing such renowned military experts as Molly Ivins, Cleland indignantly demands further investigation into Bush's service with the Texas Air National Guard.

You know, this link p*sses me off. I made the exact same points about Max Clelland some weeks ago and got flamed for "dissing" his service, including a STFU.

I guess if I had a crowd of synchophants I could spout off to a chorus of hazzahs.

[Freemyland]

Essentially the same as butt kisser.

[TheWriterInTexas]

Think of a dog, its tail wagging with excitement, as it sticks its nose into the seat of your pants in the hopes of identifying a prospective playmate, one of the "pack", or...simply...mate.

Hence, the term....

[paulklenk]

Be honest:

Do you know what this phrase means?

Are you willing to publish your opinion publicly?

Are you taking any prescription medication?

[glorgau]

Sorry, but I don't think it will have widespread usage as "Cheese eating surrender monkeys" :-)

[paulklenk]

We have a contender!

Jock sniffers = suck ups, I think.

I like Ann, but I don't think it was one of her most eloquent moments.

[TheConservator]

Naah, you are just not (widely known to be) as good looking as that other Ann.

:)

[paulklenk]

What it lacks in dopey-pop likeability, it makes up for in classy but naughty smirkability.

Please don't ask me what that means.

[John Lenin]

Nothing original here, liberals have been calling conservatives 'crotch sniffers' since the Lewinsky scandal.

[paulklenk]

I, however, do.

[LisaMalia]

Ohhhh, that is SUCH a loaded question. Are we being serious here, or looking for the the wittiest response? I can go either way....:)

[paulklenk]

But for different reasons.

[paulklenk]

Okay, I can live with that.

[paulklenk]

Please, do go both ways. I want everything you are offering.

[socal_parrot]

Requisite Ann Pic (although a fake)...

[TheWriterInTexas]

You have to admit, Paul, that some of the media "elite" are slobbering after the Dem candidates like eager puppies looking for pats of affection from their masters.

The analogy fits.

[socal_parrot]

You are sir a bard for the new century.
