Learned a new word yesterday from sport radio... Hateraide
A play on Gatoraide I suppose. Likely long in use, but as I don't get around much, I'm sure I'm late to the party.
The commentator was complaining about people whose only commentary on sport is limited to complaints (hmm. maybe some irony there).
I think this is a word that describes a lot of what passes for political discussion in the US.
Now, I no longer feel limited to talking about people who've drunk the kool-aid because Hateraide is that energy drink of political discourse that perfumes your speech with rankle.
And it comes in the diet version "Rant", as well as full strength "Rage"
