Why do I use * when referring to chimpy mcstupid? |
|
Edited on Mon Sep-19-05 07:07 PM by senseandsensibility
I have read many amusing names for * on DU over the years. And I have heard a couple of good, logical reasons for calling him * .
But I, fellow DUers, have only one reason for using * to refer to this "man". I can't stand to type his name, read his name, think about him, look at him , or listen to him.
* renders him to nothingness.

An * by a President's name means he/she has stolen the Election in my Dictionary.

In addition to what you stated, that's another reason I use *. :D

7. * means you don't have to see, speak |
|
or even have a taste of his name in your mouth or furhter fueling your anger about and toward him....at least that's what it does for me. It saves me from feeling unclean, tainted. :evilgrin:
PS I prefer Chimpy McFuck over McStupid

Probably my second favorite way to refer to *, especially if * gets redundant.

* is attached to any president's name who won by the majority of the electoral college but not the popular vote.
I think it was true of just one other president but am not sure.
Gary Trudeau of Doonesbury resurrected this symbolism in '01 but it was much older.

13. This is a funny thread! But I thought that *, or B*, or B*Co. kept the |
|
references to * that might be searched to a minimum. If someone did a search, and found your username with negative comments re: *...Am I wrong?

14. Bush's name will always have an * beside it in the history books.... |
|
*First U.S. president to lose the popular vote, and be appointed by the Supreme Court after the Court suspended vote recounts for electoral votes.

21. I use President Lepetomane when I don't use the * |

Or Shrub
So many choices of names, I think my usage of a particular one is based on my GRRRR level at the moment I'm posting.

Probably because when I hear it in my head, I hear not "Dubya," but "wuh."

25. A more recent addition is "Tinkles" |
|
By a DUer whom I would gladly attribute, but I've forgotten who it was... This is, of course, in reference to his recent U.N. appearence when he was passing notes to condi telling her (paraphrasing), "I gotta PEE! Mother may I?"

I can never understand why many posters use a capital "c". The chimp has not earned the right to be capitalized.

31. I think it was Justice Stevens who issued the minority opinion in Bush* vs |
|
Gore and in that opinion he stated Bush* would forever have his name followed by an asterisk because of the bad decision in that case. I have done so myself ever since.

My favorite, when I'm not using *, is President FUBAR.
Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition.
Old military term, but it pretty much sums up everything I feel about what's happened since those dark days in the fall of 2000.
