**You wrote:** So what? Who said nicknames had to be real words? It’s very common to add the suffix “-er” to root words to describe people. For instance: trucker, one who is occupied operating a vehicle known as a truck; fryer, one who performs the action of frying; or New Yorker, someone who resides in New York. Hence Birther, someone who is interested in the Barrack Obama birth certificate issue.***
Judging from your own definitions, a birther is someone who gives birth.. Just as a trucker is someone who drives a truck, A New Yorker is someone that lives in New York.. (Birther.)It has nothing to do with Obama. Hence only made up word to berate someones belief.. Trucker and New Yorker are both in the dictionary, not the made up word birther..
As I said, use the lefts definations all you want, just don't expect conservatives to agree with you that its a legit. word..
“Trucker and New Yorker are both in the dictionary, not the made up word birther..”
Oh, for pete’s sake. It’s a made up word which follows a long-established tradition in real words. And no, it wouldn’t follow that birthers are those who give birth. Just as New Yorkers are people who use New York, although fryers are those who use frying pans. Birthers are those who care about birth, specifically Obama’s birth.
