Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Well, like the supposed neocon’s the democrats are always blaming for the world’s woe, I guess the democrats’ neoilogism energy “strategy” is also lacking oil. And logic.
...
....Twitchy is on it.
Very clever, using the word itself in your example.
i am not an eeyore and i am not dispirited by polls, this is even up, regardless of what the polls show and will come down to turnout. i emailed my good friend in FL and sent her whatever demoralizing BS article that was in the NY times and said, you better be prepared to haul every person you know who is a Romney voter to the polls on election day.
oh for God’s sake, she looks fantastic.
Romney goes for the jugular, or in Obama's case the jugears.
I think she looks svelte. Very glamorous.
anecdotal uplift for Eyeores:
my paralegal was just in here. she’s the one from PGH, with dem family galore in PA. she had said her brother in PA while not voting for Obama could not vote for Romney. Well she just spoke to him, he’s now voting FOR romney. she’s going to call her aunt tomorrow to make sure she’s still on board. she is doing her best to steer her relatives to the romney reservation.
63 year old MS sufferer and she looks like a model. how dare they rag on her.
Is she wearing black leather like a biker chick?
I doubt it’s leather, lace wouldn’t look right on leather. I am betting Mitt liked that outfit. I think she looks pretty hot, compared to say...oh, the hildebeast? Her long hair is always styled, unlike hill’s. Face it, the libs hate her because she is hot like most Rep women and unlike most lib women.
Good because what I’m observing from the O camp, and other Dems, is that brutal negative ads seem effective. It’s all the Dems are doing.
She’s a fake lawyer, too!!!!
Now where are the neologisms for the fake Christian and fake President, Barack Hussein obama?
Do non-Jews have as much trouble pronouncing "svelte" with one syllable as they do "kvetch." Or is it all "sa-velte" like "ka-vetch?"
I can say svelte just fine, but I am not as smooth with kvetch. Now that you mention it, I can say the two of them over and over and it’s getting easier.
My niece is adopted and originally from South Korea. When she went away to college other Asian students would walk up to her, but when they heard her American voice would back off. They labeled her the FakAsian. That was her nickname. The FakAsian. It was said with fondness, not in a mean way.
I am amazed that we don’t have more but there are some: TOTUS, theOne, 0, theWon, Jug Ears....
i have no trouble with sv or kv proper pronunciation. you are hanging with gringos up there!
xsboy has received his absentee ballot up at SU. i reminded him that he needs to mail that in, as well as his RENT CHECK, which he’s not accustomed to paying and has been late on and hence had to pay a late fee last month!
When I said “svelte kvetch” three times fast, the last time it sounded like “Susan Sarandon.”
Are clueless young people attending institutes of higher learning “studiots”?
Obama’s minions are practicing
Neologism on a scale grand-
Making a new meaning for every
Turn of a phrase or a hand
“Golf” means you are a racist
Just because of golf pro Woods
And “profit” means you’re greedy
For selling a service or goods
“Terrorist” means hating Arabs
And all which that implies-
But if you’re smart, that nonsense
Should promptly open your eyes...
