On the “hole” scale, wouldn’t “Sh*thole” be a much milder pejorative than “Hellhole”? I mean, you are in a Hellhole for all eternity with fire and brimstone all around with Old Scratch sticking his pitchfork into you nonstop. A “Sh*thole” is just a stinky place on this mortal coil.
So, on balance, what Linda said is far, far worse than what a Dem or two claims that DJT said.
Personally, I like it if someone calls a spade a f’n shovel.
Generally, I separate ‘hellhole’ from ‘s**thole’....totally different atmosphere. Hellhole is typically a war-like state of affairs and your odds of surviving are marginal. In a s**thole, it could be some Central American country or Haiti, where corruption exists...things are marginally working....and some dictator or Democrat in charge.
We don’t have any hellholes in the US, but we do have some s**tholes (Memphis is a good example).
>> On the “hole” scale...
Agreed.
Works for me - Hell can’t be wiped up and sanitized....and doesn’t come from the butts of beautiful and innocent babies.....
