Conan, semi-retired ... tells me that as far as he knows the term is meant to connote genitalia. And he doesn’t think his usage makes Trump’s okay.

[Drango]

hypocrite.

[Old Sarge]

Leftist.

I have to admit, I’m quite pleased to see the word schlong get so much use in the last week. It’s experienced a small revival of sorts

[God luvs America]

but using the term “tea bagger” for three years as left wing media, obama stenographers and left wing/liberal politicians (including obama himself) was okay...

can’t believe Trump or no conservative is not shoving this in the face of all those with the faux outrage...

[Vigilanteman]

A leftwing newspaper interviewing a leftwing news announcer who is explaining why his $#*+ doesn’t stink and Trump’s does. This is what they call proof.

[albie]

Schlong = Macaca = Fail

[a fool in paradise]

It’s nuanced.

You aren’t supposed to see the hypocrisy of their propaganda.

Stalinists lie. ALWAYS

[Chode]

feh...

[GreyFriar]

Is this a New York City term? I’ve never heard it before this week.

[samtheman]

Trump owns the media and they do not even know it. This is the reason he is the ONLY one who can take on the Saudi-funded Fraud Machine in the general election.

From what little I know of Yiddish, words that begin with schl... are not usually complimentary.

[john drake]

In NYC, it would be primarily used as a Yiddish term, from the German, it means “snake”.

[RC one]

This is such a non-issue.

[Woodman]

It’s a Yiddish term. Since Yiddish has faded greatly in the US it may pretty much be a New York term these days. The way it was used it is about the equivalent of saying someone “Got dicked” or “Got screwed” but without the connotation that it was someone else’s fault, more like a loss of epic proportions. The literal meaning of the word Schlong can be looked up online.

[Godebert]

Excellent point! Someone email Trump or his campaign spokeswoman, Katrina Pierson. She will skewer the leftist media with this hypocrisy.

[MrEdd]

The term is from Yiddish.
It means “Snake”.
Trump has a Jewish daughter and Jewish grandchildren, so absolutely he is familiar with the word and many contexts for it.

Obviously snake in any language is often used as a euphemism for male genitalia.

[PoloSec]

Just another of a whole host of words liberals can use that conservatives cannot, how does one know what words a conservative can use, just speak your mind and you’ll find out soon enough, liberals would recommend for a conservative to be safe from their wrath and judgement, just keep your mouth shut.

Those who would sacrifice freedom for safety deserve neither... speak your mind, that popping sound you will hear is liberal heads exploding.

I'm sure The Donger



is pretty happy about it, too!
