Washington Post: Donald Trump's 'schlonged': A linguistic investigation

Washington Post ^ | December 22, 2015 | Justin Wm. Moyer

[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.

[Daffynition]

Schlonged...as opposed to a schlort, or a schledium.

The nanosecond this happened every FReeper had this image in their mind's eye.

Fascinating...he is using it in a way no one else ever has...even with WOMEN beating the crap out of other women...

But Trump has used the word “schlonged” at least once before — in a 2011 discussion of a House seat Republicans lost.

“I watched a popular Republican woman [Jane Corwin] not only lose but get schlonged by a Democrat [Kathy Hochul] nobody ever heard of for the congressional seat and that was because, simply, because of the Paul Ryan plan,” Trump said at the time. “That was an attack on Medicare. Now he’s trying to soften it, but whether you like it or not, that was an attack on Medicare.”

[LMAO]

The reason the media is having difficulty taking Trump down, no matter what he says, is
1)Trust in them is at an all time low. The public now sees them the same way we do.
2)Seven years of BHO’s “successes.”

[DaveA37]

“The Post has anothr meltdown over Trump. Meanwhile, America loves it - and him.”.....

As the margin of support for Trump only widens more and more each day. Guess people in this country have had enough of the politically correct garbage and are getting back to calling a spade a spade. (NOT meant as a racist statement)

After frothing at the mouth and tut-tutting like some old biddy at a tea party, referencing linguistic experts, and grousing yet-again that Trump doesn’t follow the rules; the writer concludes that perhaps “shlonged” is another word for “lost”.

[silverleaf]

Not really but bubba got lewinski’d

[IronJack]

Well, you highly literate Washington Posters, “schlong” is, I believe, a Yiddish word for the male sex organ. Its use as a verb would indicate to me that the receiver of the action was penetrated by said instrument, either literally or metaphorically. It is fairly common (albeit vulgar) usage to say that someone who suffered an ignominious defeat got “screwed,” which translates to roughly the same effect.

So unknot your panties and go fetch Obama’s dry cleaning.

Oh, and go schlong yourselves.

[Oratam]

That’s exactly it . . . and from NPR no less!

[uncbob]

Trump is completely wrong on this

I doubt that Hillary has been Schlonged in a shlong time

[jpsb]

Urban Dictionary says

schlonged
to get very drunk
to hit someone or thing
to bismark a someone

I have no idea what bismark means and I am not going to look it up. The German battleship Bismark sank so you can take it from there.

There’s no one in America over the age of eleven who doesn’t know what it means.

[bert]

I guess I lead a life sheltered from provincial yankee slang

I don’t know what it meant and after reading several definitions here and even getting polite mail that is apparently too coarse to post, still am not sure
