In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".
STEATOPHYGIA [stee uh toh PYE jee uh]
hear it pronounced
noun
AStear, Greek for "fat, grease," gave rise to the prefix steato-, while pyge is Greek for "buttox, rump." Together, this prefix and noun gave us steatophygia for fatty accumulation on the buttocks, and steatophygic fat buttocked, the condition of possessing a very fat rump. Also synonyous with callipygian, callipygous.

LOL, sorry...I think I broke the rule. Here is my sentence:
“A common case of steatopygia seems to have affected all California Democrat politicians when it came to authorizing funds to fix potential problems at the Oroville Dam.”

We should not be surprised that some among us have fatty lumps in various places about our bodies.
Instead, we should celebrate the miracle that allows lipomas to grow arms and legs and walk around, to our utter astonishment.

It’s from the Monty Python movie “Life of Brian”, the famous scene where Pilate (who friend Bigus Dickus has a wife called Incontientia) has to determine what happens to Brian...:)

If we could cure cranial steatophygia, we could calm these tantrums on the left.
