FTA: Oxford gave a statement to Mediaite to clarify that they meant the political "teabagger," not anything salacious:

Meh, either way, both leave you with a bad taste in your mouth.

Derp would have been better.

Every time I see the word "teabagger" in the political sense, I still picture scrotums. Every. Time.

This is EXACTLY like the time the damned Swedes gave Obama the Nobel Peace Prize.

Only different.

I wonder if it's just a coincidence that Huffington selected a lady named Weiner to write an article about teabaggers.

you said weiner

Whargarbl: (n) ridiculous partisan blather.

See Malkin, Michelle.

Has anyone else noticed the 'baggers complaining a lot lately about the left's use of that 'offensive' term, apparently forgetting the fact that they named themselves that in the beginning?

Derogatory slur?

Which ones are supposed to be the idiots again?

Let me get the ball rolling here. What is a teabagger?

Oh the ups and down of the Teabag movement.

M-G: Has anyone else noticed the 'baggers complaining a lot lately about the left's use of that 'offensive' term, apparently forgetting the fact that they named themselves that in the beginning?

Not really.

I have, and I find it hilarious that they're stuck with it as a pejorative now.

you americans and your politcs are amusing. You think you and your political parties are so different, but you are exactly the same. That means I'm looking at you libby and conny

public option: What is a teabagger?

One time, at a party, this guy got really drunk and passed out on the couch. I pulled down my pants and underwear and placed my scrotum on his face, while my friend snapped a photo.

It's not as if the political and the pejorative are exclusive here. Those farksticks have earned all possible connotations.

public option: you americans and your politcs are amusing.

You Americans,
all you do is talk, and talk, and say "let
me tell you something" and "I just wanna
say...."

Well, you're dead now, so shut up!

WTF Indeed: Oh the ups and down of the Teabag movement.

Don't you mean, the ins and outs of the Teabag movement?

Oh yes, that's the latest revisionist history from the Fark Independents^TM and it's certainly a hoot. They somehow find a way to make their own unfortunate choice of names the fault of the libs.

I just call them teabaggies, myself.

spamdog: WTF Indeed: Oh the ups and down of the Teabag movement.

I think this is the main difference between the East Coast and West Coast Teabagger factions.

Well?

Are you an insertionist or aint you?

Let's see the wikipedia editors try to censor the teabaggers' initial use of the term NOW.

While Keith wasn't the first to apply the double entendre (it was me) to the Tea Party protesters, he and his colleagues at MSNBC elevated it to an art form.

Get over yourself (both of you). Its what we all thought at the same time.


And just to point out the differences between the two parties' senses of humor, liberals had a field day when Hilary said she tossed a mean salad.

We can laugh at ourselves.

M-G: Has anyone else noticed the 'baggers complaining a lot lately about the left's use of that 'offensive' term, apparently forgetting the fact that they named themselves that in the beginning?

After seeing their 'protests,' did anyone believe that intelligence was a part of their little group?

Depends if you the teabagger or teabaggee.

"unfriend" was picked as the Oxford word of the year three days ago.

Too many syllables. They won't understand their own word.

DeadZone: "unfriend" was picked as the Oxford word of the year three days ago.

party popper.

mediablitz: Too many syllables. They won't understand their own word.

They sure as hell didn't understand it when they first chose it.

DeadZone: "unfriend" was picked as the Oxford word of the year three days ago.

I don't get why putting prefixes in front of an already established word makes it all cool to put into the dictionary?

That and merging two already established words together seem to be their schtick.

Oxford dictionary has gone full retard with the hip language.

Not sure what they have to do with any of this...

OED or GTFO!

I wonder if there is a conservative group out there who have chicken eating contests called "Cock Gobblers".

crab66: I wonder if there is a conservative group out there who have chicken eating contests called "Cock Gobblers".

And an abstinence education program called "To Be Young and Full of Foley"

Poppers and teabagging may in fact be connected in some way. Try the google image search.

I'm looking at the cable news ratings for this week. The truely pathetic fact? NANCY GRACE beats out butch lesbo Maddow. You get beat by Nancy Grace, then just hang up and quit.

Oh wait, they don't consider themselves news. Nice defense, for two losers.

Apparently someone told them people turn to UrbanDictionary to learn what's current in modern vernacular.
