I’m surprised, I thought everybody knew what that was. . . Mes apologies. . .
“Bully pulpit comes from the 26th U.S. President, Theodore Roosevelt, who observed that the White House was a bully pulpit. For Roosevelt, bully was an adjective meaning “excellent” or “first-rate”not the noun bully (”a blustering, browbeating person”) that’s so common today.”
Hmph... not sure I agree with that definition. I thought it meant an unassailable pulpit (or microphone) where he could get his words out to the American people without distortion, Just like Dear Leader does with these daily briefings.
Sorry I wasn’t clear - I know the words “bully pulpit” but didn’t find searching on Q map! I think your meaning of b.p. is the right one. :-D
