Never heard the word "taint" used so much on TV

[tularetom]

Just caught the end of the Rachel Maddow show. She was talking about the Marriot hotel chain cancelling in room porn availability because of the "nasty taint" it might impart to Marriot board member Mitt Romney who is reported to be running for Prseident.

Rachel said something to the effect of "the last thing you want if you're running for president is a nasty taint".

I'm still ROFLMAO.

1. Oh, damn...

I have the show on DVR.

That is fucking hilarious. GF didn't even know what 'taint' is.

I always thought it was a Texas thing.

3. I think it means, totally, different to what many think it means. Its guy-speak.

[Sonoman]

5. There is no known definition...

because they are all different.

I know this to be so, having a lifetime of serious tainting behind me.

4. there is a joke there to be made about tea bagging and taints

6. We're all adultes. Definition from Urban Dictionary

taint


The area between the nutsack and asshole that prevent a man from shitting on his nuts. See durf.
If it wasn't for the taint, my nuts would reek of poo!

11. Not in my world

I have always held that 'taint' means....

'taint' p#####, 'taint' a##.

I have devoted most of my adult years (oh, why lie?, teen years, as well) doing personal research on said 'taint'.

And I will remember that work fondly.

7. Rachel likes mocking in such a manner. She really ran with the "teabagger" name when that was new

[QC]

8. She's right. A nasty taint never finds favor with the American pubic.

Um, public.

[saras]

9. The Tea Party seems to have tainted political discourse

10. as my ex used to say about her taint - "t'aint pussy, t'aint ass"

[Extend a Hand]

12. I thought it was a contraction

for it ain't.
ex:
Repug for president in 2012? tain't gonna happen.
