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.

MMA - the media darling Rousy got schlonged by a nobody called Holm, in the SECOND round, at that!
Funny crap coming from liberal idiots that threw out the term “tea baggers” every chance they had.
Liberals usually never get ticked off over the content...they really get ticked off when you use their tactics against them.
I've been referring to them as "all wee-weed up".
The media is crazy and Trump couldn’t ask for a better bunch of fools to chase him around. Its like he’s shooting ducks in a barrel. Its the damndest thing I’ve ever seen in politics. Its just delightful. I could sit and listen to Trump bashing the media and worthless DC politicians all day long and achieve a state of zen.
It's like he's shooting ducks in a barrel.
With a 12 ga. shotgun, no less. :-)
Just think,in less than a year will never have to deal with Obama or Hillary ever again.
She just petered out!
Now that thar’s funny ah don’t care who ya are.
I think it sucks that the media is all wee-weed up. The media is trying to screw Donald!!!!
Wanna bet? They are NEVER going away. Obama will be popping up constantly to weigh in on every decision the new guy makes.
never heard the expression before in my life.
but i’m SURE I’ve never heard some expressions you southern folk use nor you some of mine from Staten Island, NY.
except maybe in Goodfellas :)
You’ve never heard of the word desperate?
You’ve never heard of the word desperation?
You think that is a term from the South?
LOL

Pinch a Loaf for Hillary!
Are you talking about Donald Trump of Bill Clinton?
If you want to Talk, Talk. If you want to Schlong, Schlong.
(paraphrasing Tuco from “The Good, The Bad and the Ugly)
Correction:
Are you talking about Donald Trump OR Bill Clinton?
LOL!
I hope Trump wins. Seattle will smell the like crap the day after the election from all the liberals who shat their pants!
