Words in the news
Who knew? Much to our surprise it’s considered a racial slur to call someone Pocahontas. Trump found that out this week after a tweet where he referred to Elizabeth Warren as Pocahontas, although that wasn’t the first time he’s done that. After back lash from this recent tweet, Trump apologized by saying, “I do regret calling her Pocahontas, because I think it’s a tremendous insult to Pocahontas.”
In related news, we didn’t have a single Pocahontas show up at our door this Halloween. There was, however, a preschooler who showed up as an old man. I was deeply offended.
Speaking of words, did you know the Japanese have a word for being worked to death. It’s Karoshi. We Americans have the antonym though, couch potato. Of course being overworked doesn’t require the English language to come up with a word, but there are a number of new words and definitions based on current events we offer up for consideration:
- pignore – turning a blind eye in Hollywood and journalism to workplace sexual assault and harassment
- taximonious – expecting the government to pay for things but not realizing where the government gets its money
- testimony – having someone’s genitals in a vice in order to gain cooperation
- Demoshat – ability to explosively crap political theater the instant a tragedy occurs
- Republisham – inability to accomplish anything even though you own both houses of Congress and the presidency
- twit – a person who relies entirely on Twitter to communicate
- clinton – the act of cheating to gain an advantage
- bernt – being cheated
- kimduldge – fueling North Korea’s nuclear ambitions through failed diplomacy
- beleech – destroying emails so you can continue to live off the country
- pootinkering – election meddling
- irangement – establishing policy that provides the Iranian government a path to nuclear weapons
- climetastic – using any change in weather as proof that the world will end unless everyone, except celebrities, reduces their carbon footprint
Time to exit stage left
The Democrats have been successful in getting the country to focus on statues instead of less important things like North Korea’s nuclear ambition, an improving economy, and a stock market boom. Gone are the two hurricanes in 2017 that bolstered the global warming freak-out (even though it had been a record 12 years since a major hurricane hit the US).
But now Hillary’s pulling the proverbial bandaid off the Democrats’ wound of a 2016 election over and over and over, as if Groundhog Day was a disaster movie instead of a comedy.
Obviously it’s human nature to assume that your failures are not your own but instead due to forces beyond your control. We all have frequent experiences with losing, and most of us as adults are smart enough to realize that it’s usually due to an unlucky break, bad timing or someone just flat out beat us. Now the Democrats’ are reaping the participation-trophy mentality, and when that trophy doesn’t materialize, well it just must be someone else’s sinister doing.
Like Star Wars, where its thesis is rooted in the “force”, there exists an all-powerful supernatural tension, but with a slight alteration. The “farce” is strong in this one.

ANCHOR: And now for commentary on a First Lady’s focus on skin color, here’s Emily Litella.
LITELLA: I am deeply bothered by Melania constantly pointing out the race of people. Why can’t she just see people for who they are and not by the color of their skin. It’s just awful. When Melania sees skin color as a person’s defining characteristic, that’s just, well, racist!
ANCHOR: Miss Litella, excuse me.
LITELLA: Yes?
ANCHOR: Michelle Obama is the First Lady who’s hung up on skin color. Michelle, not Melania. Michelle.
LITELLA: Oh … well … that’s different. Never mind.
