On Wednesday’s Morning Joe, co-host Willie Geist dropped explicit adult-film terminology while bashing President Trump’s diplomatic approach to China.

Discussing Trump’s upcoming meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Geist said with a noticeable smirk and hesitation:

“Trump is lavishing praise on Xi ahead of this meeting, which is a strange thing for the art of the deal guy, to give all this, you know, this fluffing, if you will, of President Xi.”

In porn industry terminology, a “fluffer” is the person whose job is to arouse the male performer off-camera right before filming. Geist’s pause and smirk made it clear he knew exactly what he was saying.

“Willie,” eh?

And “Geist” is German for “ghost.”

[webheart]

A knowledgeable consumer of pornography. What is this called…?… a dog whistle? A pornographers’ dog whistle. He should be mocked mercilessly.

[lee martell]

I’m sure Geist knows all about that kind of thing.

[xp38]

The MSM is well versed in fluffing.

[Red Badger]

I didn’t know what it meant.

He does.

So how does he know?..............

[frank ballenger]

“Willie,” eh?

Kamala still wakes up from dreams saying "Willie, Willie I'm on my knees" while her husband is baffled.

[Tench_Coxe]

Is Willie speaking from experience?

[frank ballenger]

How many of us here had no idea what that word was? I try to keep up with Samuel L. Jackson movie dialog and stuff but missed that term.

Tell Joe to keep his willie under control.

I doubt 98% of the population even knows what “fluffing” means other than fluffing a pillow. Pervy Joe knows though.

[Vaduz]

The Morning Joe has been a fluffer to the democrats from day one they didn’t get chapped lips from cold weather?.

[cowboyusa]

Fag alert

[Texas Eagle]

Willie looks like a fluffer. And a fluffee.

[Texas Eagle]

Just like Anderson Poofter was intimately knowledgeable of teabagging.

I ran across the term ages ago probably in some exposee article on the underside of the porn industry. On rare occasions someone might use the term like in this instance but yeah it doesn’t pop up in conversation often. 😎

[rktman]

Did he learn that term from meekuh? Or his own resume.

[grame]

I’m sorry to have read this. I should be more careful.
