"She got schlonged!" That's what GOP frontrunner Donald Trump had to say about Hillary Clinton's primary loss to now President Barack Obama in 2008. "She lost. I mean, she lost," Trump added, just in case anyone was confused about the meaning of the term "schlonged." Predictably, the liberal media was offended by the brazen billionaire's assessment but, in keeping with his steadfast refusal to apologize or even to backtrack on controversial commentary, the Trump campaign is sticking with the "schlonging", a move which has the political punditry tracing the term's history. Here's Trump: NPR's @NealConan said "schlonged" to WaPo re: 1984 Mondale/Ferraro campaign: "That ticket went on to get schlonged at the polls." #Hypocrisy For those on TV defending my use of the word "schlonged," bc #MSM is giving it false meaning-tell them it means beaten badly. Dishonest #MSM Here's an excerpt from the WaPo's take: "Given Trump's history of vulgarity and misogyny, it's entirely possible that he had created a sexist term for 'defeat' (as far as I know there is no such slang verb in Yiddish)," Pinker wrote. "But given his history with sloppy language it's also possible that it's a malaprop."And here's a bit from the NPR piece Trump references: As it turns out, the use of "schlong" as a verb is not unprecedented in political discourse. As the Washington Post's Justin Moyer pointed out, NPR's own Neal Conan used it on the air in 2011, explaining that the Walter Mondale-Geraldine Ferraro presidential ticket "went on to get schlonged at the polls" in the 1984 election.As it now appears increasingly likely that the general election will see Trump face off against Hillary, it's a virtual certainty that the American people will ultimately be the ones who end up getting "schlonged. Enjoy it America. |
