So, uh, what did the mayor of Cincinnati do to deserve the label?

What didn't make the final draft of that speech was where he was going to tell the Cincy mayor to "take this trophy, shine it up real good, turn it sideways," and then suggested a nice location to place that trophy for display.

Instead of the usual friendly banter between mayors, got right down to trash talk, suggesting the Burrows take a paternity test, because he might be Mahomes' father.

He might have doubled down on the Burrowhead talk, but I'm not sure on that one.

Jabroni is a jobber in professional wrestling. Someone who fills a space in the ring and gets his ass kicked by someone else who's being groomed for the spotlight. A jabroni will never be in the spotlight, he will go from match to match until he can't perform anymore.

The expression was made popular by The Rock in the 90's, but he has come clean and admitted he got the word from the Iron Sheik, who used the word in the locker room as part of his colorful Persian - English vocabulary. When The Rock was starting out, the Sheik said to him "Don't be like these other jabronis. Respect the job and do the work, you'll be a star". Or something like that.

Sounds like a word I heard from my father in law, which was also a slur for feeble minded person of Eastern European descent. Similar to jabroni but I'm not going to repeat it here.

Hence the reason for the WWE Attitude era stable of misfits and mostly neverwere that was the Job Squad: Al Snow, Bob Holly, Flash Funk, Blue Meanie, and Duane Gill (aka Gillburg).  Funk should have been put over more than he was because of his agility, but only Snow and Holly got upper mid-card treatment.

Jabroni probably has Italian derivation from giambone, or 'hambone.' First citation is over 100 years old and predates the WWE, the Iron Sheik, and Dwayne Johnson. It is an insult meaning someone is foolish or contemptable.

The only downside to an Italian woman is that she has to shave before noon or else she'd likely put Tom Selleck's 'stache to shame.

Everything else though? Name it and it is perfect.

The vast majority of "bets" between politicians are so farking lame. Some really forced and awkward cheering/clapping and the like from dweebs trying to glom onto success when they previously couldn't give a shiat.

One of the things my dad told me in his life was, don't just take any old check from any jabroni.
Jabroni? Is that a family?
Yeah, he said, and especially from Joe Jabroni
Ok, dad. I could never tell when he might be pulling my chain.

Years after he passed...

I had a guy try to pass a third party check at my store.
I asked him for id.
He hands me a driver's licence.
The check is 3 months old.
("Any old check" I hear in my head)
The license says Joe Jabroni
And I tell him no, and as soon as he opens his mouth to object, I tell, and get out of my store! He is pissed but he leaves.
Ok, dad. I could never tell when he might be psychic.

Seriously, how dumb does that guy have to be?
Get your ass to a bank, cash iat, take the money to a judge, have your name changed.

He commandeered 'Fight for your right to PAAAARRTTAAYYYYYY', so - He just helped make it a thing now.

Dear GOD I love that man!  Prime of his life, he knows it, and is enjoying the fark out of earning it.  I do not fault him one iota - and he's a nice, nice dude - I have never seen him be a dick in public, because the man literally can't just grab dinner to go without getting people chatting him up - he contains it, but he's not curt- poses for pictures with anyone who asks....He could be a giant dickweed, but he's just insanely cool with the everyday fan swarm that is his life and it might be annoying, but I respect that he gets what comes with the territory in stride.

And ladies.....I can report....he smells DIVINE!  (Dunno what he wears, but It's prolly Sex Panther, and it was one of those 40% times it worked because GOT DAYUM!  I'm in perimenopause and my ovaries Prairie dogged those two instances I was close enough to smell him.  Nail salon doesn't really count because I was opposite end while he got his pedicure - and got a crick in my neck trying not to be obvious as I just stared at him - slack jawed.)

/I like dad bod guys - but having seen this man at the store and a neighborhood restaurant several times - ain't a bad angle or view of that man....and the camera just does NOT do him justice.  Built like a Sequoya....and probably just as sturdy.  farking wall of a human being steeped in Panty Dropper smell.
//Yup...headin' to the bunk.

Actually - Jason is who Travis credits with forcing him to get his shiat together, and credits him for where he is now.

He is not stingy with giving credit to his big brother for helping him become who he is.
