I listened to Trump’s acceptance speech. - It was good.
Positive. A real plan to get America rolling again after
8 yrs. of the America Hating Kenyan. - He mostly doesn’t
use 25 words when ONE word will suffice - as in CROOKED
HILLARY.

Hitlery is a frumpy (I usually capitalize fr when posting, but since we are talking about Hitlery, I’ll not do that, out of profound respect for OUR Free Republic!) corrupt old harridan!

That Hitlery is corrupt and old is self-evident!

That she is a harridan begs definition, because it is not a word one encounters in day-to-day usage.

I hope, in reference to Hitlery, to change that!

So, here is a definition of harridan: an angry and unpleasant woman.

Synonyms: battle-ax (or battle-axe), dragon lady, fury, harpy, shrew, termagant, virago, vixen

Related Words: fishwife, gorgon; carper, castigator, caviler (or caviller), censurer, critic, faultfinder, nitpicker, railer, scold; belittler, derider, detractor; pettifogger, quibbler

Origin and Etymology of harridan: perhaps a modification of French haridelle [meaning] old horse, gaunt woman

First Known Use: 1678

Need I say more?
