I wanted to follow up on my overnight post noting that rapidly emerging "schlong" revisionist analysis of Donald Trump's statement which now - a mere dozen hours later - has emerged into a full-fledged "schlong truth" movement. Trump himself is doubling down on "schlong" and has enlisted Jeff Greenfield who is vouching for the normalness and non-sexual meaning of the phrase. It was unclear to me at first from Greenfield"s tweet whether he was basing this on personal experience as a New York Trump contemporary (Greenfield is only slightly older than Trump but, according to Wikipedia, grew up in tonier Manhattan, not the outer boroughs or Long Island) or based on new research. But I've got a reply from Greenfield below which clears up any question on that front.
Since our initial post we have had a number of TPM Readers (generally men born between 1940 and 1952 in Queens and Long Island) who have clear testimony about what we might call the "Trump/Schlong" usage (aging Jewish male readership finally comes in handy!).
For instance, TPM Reader BR explains the following ...
I also grew up on Long Island at the same time as Trump (born in 1949). I too remember "got shlonged" as a common expression (usually in sports) with no sexual overtone. My only criticism of Trump's usage would be that in my recollection the term applies to a team, not an individual. "We got shlonged" sounds right, "I got shlonged" totally wrong. "He got shlonged" doesn't seem as right as "they got shlonged," but the difference isn't as clear-cut to me.

Desperation.
Pure and simple. Desperation.
Those who want to take Trump down aren’t meeting with success.
Hence the desperation.
Got to love how the media are making down right fools of themselves over Trump. GO TRUMP GO
“Getting schlonged” is also a euphemism for drunk. Just like getting blitzed, sh!tfaced, blasted, etc.
Oh brother.
Trump used a term to say Hillary got beaten, which is a word for a penis.
Hillary terrorized to keep them quiet, women her husband RAPED with a penis.
HOW DARE SHE SAY ONE WORD.
Actually, that’s “schnockered”. :)
To be honest, I never heard schlong used in any other way than sexual.
Hillary’s a movement allright.
its sort of like being richarded
the meaning of the word schlong howeve.. remains the same
I can’t vouch for alternate meanings for “schlong,” but I’ve only heard is used with reference to the male sex organ. But people - including President Obama - who delight in using “tea baggers” with regard to Tea Party members have no right to be offended, nor do those who delighted in Obama’a “lipstick on a pig” comment regarding Sarah Palin.
I thought that was “schlocked.”
That’s a hoot! ROFLOL!
Trump has a lot of money, but apparently cannot afford class. Or maybe he is just too niggardly when it comes to things like dignity and manners. ;-)
Especially since there's no way Bubba's "curved Richard" wouldn't get anywhere near her.
My only criticism of Trump's usage would be that in my recollection the term applies to a team, not an individual. "We got shlonged" sounds right, "I got shlonged" totally wrong. "He got shlonged" doesn't seem as right as "they got shlonged," but the difference isn't as clear-cut to me.
Shillary is a team right? Team Hillary! And 'It takes a village' and all ...got shlonged.
That usage would definitely apply to HRC
What I find laughable is Hillary’s having been “offended” and calling for more “love and kindness” in this country when her filthy, sewage-spewing piehole is famous for emitting the nastiest of noise.

It seems all usages for the word ‘shlong’ fits Hillary. ;-)
