Trump Doubles Down on "Schlong", New Truth Movement Emerges
Talking Points Memo ^

Posted on 12/23/2015 10:09:19 AM PST by springwater13

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.

To be honest, I never heard schlong used in any other way than sexual.

Growing up in the Mid Atlantic (VA)I'd agree with you, but having spent 6 years in Southern New England during the early 70's I have heard the term used as Trump used it. I would conclude that it's a local usage. However, Trump IS from that area, so I would give him a pass, with the warning that he should only use it with local New York audiences.

Actually, it was used back in 2011, in reference to Geraldine Ferraro and the big presidential loss in 1984. The meaning then was “I lost big time”, and it was used in exactly that sense by NPR.

I’m getting a huge kick out of the Democrats and media that endorse every sexual deviance known to man or beast getting upset over “schlong”.

Trump is a genius.

Go Trump, go Cruz. Schlong the GOPe!

The enemedia will talk about anything to avoid talking about Democrat failure by Clinton and Obama. This pathetic attempt is just the latest example.

Democrats are only upset about this because “schlonged” assumes Obama has the “schlong” with which he schlonged Hillary. We all know that’s Moochelle’s department.

The media probably would have gone after him if he said she got "creamed".

Here's a list of words that Liberal opponents cannot use:
