Huma ...
They can whitewash it all they want, but “gobsmacked” means a man did something surprisingly in a woman’s mouth
And the brashness to send out a body double onto the street just a few hours later, really to refute the video was a huge mistake. Subjects of protection details are never allowed to stroll loose in public like that.
I wonder if the mean the same millions of white people that elected bathhouse barry (twice)
One wonders what Hillary is putting under her snout when she does her alternate nostril breathing.
What’s the matter, Hillary?
The theme you based your campaign on, “It’s time for a woman to be president.”
But exit polls say that college-educated white women opposed you. Why then did the smart women reject you, eh?
This will be the last time I open or comment on anything with “Hillary Clinton”in the title. Bye bye doofus.
So much of what Hillary ‘knows to be true’ is in actuality totally false. She used that impressive campaign war chest to create an alternate reality to sell to the voters. Her problem was that she actually bought into the crapola that she was selling.
Trump’s campaign was not in any way ‘deplorable’. That was a Hillary idea that the Media continues to run with to this day. And it isn’t going to help the Dems win an election. They have to deal with reality before that can happen.
Narrow minded bitch
Anything not visible through her paper towel tube is deplorable
Now that's a very good idea...
I wouldn’t touch that gob even if I had a 10 foot dhimmi-pole.
Please provide a link to a source for that. I searched for definitions of gobsmacked and did not find that one anywhere.
DemocRAT to the Core.
This morning on the radio, they found this little tidbit: Hillary made her "deplorables" comment in September of '16. The "Access Hollywood" tape didn't come out until October. So once again, Hillary's caught in an outright LIE.
Tin ear...welded shut
but we knew that.
It came to me.....hillary is expendable
It's a British slang/colloquial word meaning 'left speechless'...popularised by the Fleet St. tabloid press twenty years ago...
Since day one when she first appeared on the American political scene, I felt that this woman was intellectually bankrupt, and malignantly unstable mentally.
Every single time she has opened her mouth since Tuesday, November 8, 2016, that conviction has only deepened for me.

A: You’re most likely to come across this mainly British slang term as the adjective gobsmacked; your gobsmack and another form, gobstruck, are less common.
Gobsmacked combines the northern English and Scottish slang term gob, mouth, with the verb smack. It suggests the speaker is utterly astonished or astounded. It’s much stronger than just being surprised; it’s used for something that leaves you speechless, or otherwise stops you dead in your tracks. It suggests that something is as surprising as being suddenly hit in the face. A couple of examples:
I was utterly gobsmacked to hear that a 22-year-old woman from America has put her virginity up for sale.Though the trail of written evidence was until recently believed to date only from the early 1980s, we knew it went back a lot further in the spoken language. A report in the Guardian in February 1985, relating an encounter with the famous footballer Sir Stanley Matthews, implied that it was even then 40 years old. This is supported by a recent find:
The Sun, 1 Nov. 2010.The noise and testosterone roiled off the track, rushed up the stands, and almost knocked me over. I was gobstruck. I looked at Alex. Her eyes were bugged out, and she was smiling ear to ear. “Holy cow!” Alex said. “HOLY COW!!”
Parade Magazine, 24 Aug. 2008.
I’m so amazed that only the Malderbury dialect can express my condition: “I’m properly gob-smacked”.Gobsmacked, like gob itself, comes from northern English and southern Scottish dialects. One reason why it starts to appear in print in the 1980s is that it was used by the writers of gritty television series set in northern cities, such as Alan Bleasdale’s Boys from the Blackstuff, about five Liverpudlian tarmac layers, and Coronation Street, set in a fictional suburb of Manchester (Jeffrey Miller included it in his glossary Street Talk — The Language of Coronation Street in 1986).
A Woman of Bangkok, by Jack Reynolds, 1959. A version of the text was published in 1956 as A Sort of Beauty. There’s no such place as Malderbury.
It was taken up shortly afterwards by broadsheet newspapers such as The Times, the Sunday Times and the Independent as well as the Guardian and by politicians who used it to display their demotic credentials. It has since travelled widely. William Safire commented in The New York Times in 2004 that the “locution is sweeping the English world”. The success of the Scottish singer Susan Boyle in BBC television’s Britain’s Got Talent in 2009 led to a further boost, since she used it copiously in interviews.
It’s an obvious derivation of an existing term, since gob has been a dialect and slang term for the mouth for four hundred years (often in insulting phrases like shut your gob! to tell somebody to be quiet). It possibly goes back to a Scottish Gaelic word meaning a beak or a mouth, which has also bequeathed us the verb to gob, meaning to spit. Another form of the word is gab, from which we get gift of the gab.
