Washington Post: Donald Trump's 'schlonged': A linguistic investigation
Washington Post ^ | December 22, 2015 | Justin Wm. Moyer

Posted on 12/22/2015 4:28:38 AM PST by Zakeet

In a long campaign that's far from over, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's comment in Grand Rapids, Mich., that Hillary Clinton - former first lady, former U.S. senator, former secretary of state, woman = "got schlonged" in her 2008 primary run might be considered just another insult from a tycoon-turned-politician eager for the spotlight. Trump, after all, has been down in the dirt slinging mud before, calling Rosie O'Donnell a "fat pig" and a "slob" and making comments that certainly seemed critical of Megyn Kelly's menstrual cycle.

But there was something different about "schlonged." Sure, it was sexist - especially given Trump's general disapproval of Clinton's bathroom use during the recent Democratic presidential debate.

So Bill raping an intern in the oval office is a media non-event but Trump using this word is a media hyperevent.

Got it.

They might think so, but the media isn’t running this campaign. Most people have turned their backs on them.

CBS bleeped out the word on air. I thought he had said F word by them doing that.

So, he uses incorrect endings in Yiddish?

Horrible!

Who will get his votes when he drops out?

And he’s used the term before. Last time he used it to describe a victory by a female over another female.

Yes, but I doubt we will ever know the full extent of what he actually is and feels.

Schlong is Yiddish for the male organ, well known to all New Yorkers.

Shlonging and schlonged are both incorrect, although occasionally heard on the street in East Flatbush, never in Williamsburg.

HTH.

Ah, the infamous “macaca”. Allen let the media/Left jump all over him and turn it into a flaming tire necklace (another politically incorrect reference) around his neck.

Trump never plays defense with the media .... he doubles down and plays offense. The eneMedia expects Republicans to curl up in a fetal position in a corner somewhere and don’t know what to do with a bull in the china shop like Trump. Hillary won’t know what to do with him, either.

“Verbing” - like “growing” the economy?

I am just laughing so hard after reading this article. Trump got the Wa Po to do an essay about “schlonged”.
Just brilliant! He’s the talk of the town again!
