3. In Texas
that is such a normal word! Maybe only we Texans are the ones who use it. Of course, it certainly doesn't belong in a formal speech of any kind. Was it used in an off-the-cuff comment, or a formal speech?

5. "ooching" was used a a fund raising speech in Mass. for romney

The Economy, Smack Dab in an Ooch
By a Washington Post Staff Writer Saturday, October 5, 2002; Page A07
BOSTON, Oct. 4 -- Sometimes the economy is booming. Other times, it is contracting. At the moment, it is "ooching." This economic evaluation was offered here today by President Bush. Speaking at a fundraiser that gathered $1.25 million for Massachusetts gubernatorial candidate Mitt Romney, Bush volunteered his novel description of the economy's struggles to regain momentum. "When your economy is, kind of, ooching along, it's important to let people have more of their own money," Bush said. He called this axiom "the page out of the textbook that I believe is important; I know Romney feels the same way."
Ooching?
"Who?" replied Karl Rove, Bush's top strategist, when asked for an explanation. "Oh, ooching. That means moving in a slow, deliberate fashion." Close


i guess it is a word :shrug:

6. he's used it a couple of times ...
Referring to the economy, and to terrorism.

Probably Karl has told him not to anymore, because it's a specialized sailing term and most Americans don't have access to a yacht the way he did! A Texan friend of mine commented that W's east coast blueblood status really shows, in those kind of verbal slips.

kind of ooch around the dark corners of the world and look out, peep out around the corner -- in the meantime, send these suicide
squads.
-- Downingtown, Pennsylvania, Oct. 22, 2002
