Language Campaign
Jan. 27th, 2009 09:07 pmSo, Cass and I were talking, and we decided that
1) Blago is total douche
2) We dislike that use of the word "douche"
3) There is no obvious unobjectionable alternative to "douche" in this context
4) We would like to nominate "Blago" as a new alternative to "douche", or, rather, as a term to refer to anyone who is acting like the soon-to-be-former-governor.
* The quote that lead to decision #1 was:
GOV. BLAGOJEVICH: My point is, if you could hear the whole story, I think the whole story will tell a story of a governor who's on the side of the people, who takes on powerful interests, expresses frustration, and uses some language that, frankly, had I known somebody was listening, I wouldn't use. And I'll point out, when some of that language was used, there were no women on the phone. (emphasis mine)
To which my response is, "Oh, fuck you, you ass-wipe-y Blago."
Come on, people! Start a movement!
