Did Rush explain the “gyp” (JIP) at the beginning of his show? That would baffle many an unsophisticated listener.
I don't know if he explained the term this time, as he has often done in the past.
That would baffle many an unsophisticated listener.
Yes, but an intelligent (if unsophisticated) listener who was even slightly familiar with Rush would then wonder whether or not he had misunderstood what Rush said. When Rush is not imitating foreign languages, he uses relentlessly coherent English. Either Cynthia Tucker somehow missed the spelling error (very unlikely), or she was confident that Rush said and meant "gyp," which turns his sentences into nonsense. Apparently it never entered Tucker's mind that she might have misunderstood Rush's words, or she would not have posted the quote on her blog.
