Obama today in Cleveland: "don't fall for the 'okey dokey'". What could he have been talking about?

[CLANG]

1. She is scary. And her voice is like chewing on tinfoil!

[ThoughtCriminal]

8. I would rather chew a Costco-Size roll

of Reynolds brand aluminum foil, than listen to her for more than 5 minutes. Seriously, how much meth does it take to think she is worth listening too?

[Fridays Child]

2. Doesn't this thread belong in DU's Tough Questions forum?

:rofl:

[orleans]

10. we have a Tough Questions forum? how did that get under my radar?

:P }(

[Fridays Child]

18. Sorry.

I forgot to turn on the J(ust) K(idding) flashers.

;)

[orleans]

[MichiganVote]

3. Oh God, my eyes! Wait--is that the pricey outfit or the cheap stuff?

[kentuck]

4. You betcha' !

:-)

[ThoughtCriminal]

5. Maybe the Hokey-Pokey

isn't that what it's ALL about?

[DeepBlueC]

12. I do think he meant hokey-pokey

Okey-dokey is just an old way of saying "okay". Kind of World War II vintage. Hokey-pokey is bullshit. Or evasion.

[Sydnie]

17. getting an okey dokey means you got ripped off

Often used in past tense - that you were oke doked.

[DeepBlueC]

20. never heard that...

[DeepBlueC]

23. we are both from New England

How did I miss that one?

[Sydnie]

25. It's actually a southern slang that is just being picked up now that I heard on

the tv show Big Brother. Yes, I admit to watching it. :)

[DeepBlueC]

26. we're Northeastern elites...we're above taste!

I watch MMA pay-per-view, myself. But I compensate, honest.

[Sidney J Mussburger]

30. That used to be a guilty pleasure of mine

Not anymore, I came out as a Big Brother fan about 2 years ago and I don't care what people think of me. In fact, I actively recruit my friends to watch it. The ones who do give it a shot become fans as well. It's just a damn entertaining show.

[RayOfHope]

6. Her hair is terrible. Yeah, I know, it should be about substance. But it really is bad n/t

[SammyWinstonJack]

7. I don't get the "she's attractive" thing.

:puke:

[Monk06]

9. Mrs Palin, I want to fly into your airspace. You betcha, doggone it. Doggone it, you betcha.

[jkshaw]

11. to swindle or deceive

Or to believe that everything is okay, to relax, when everything is NOT okay.

[Sydnie]

14. Yep, Often called getting oke doked.n/t

[Catshrink]

13. Sarah Palin = Ned Flanders?

She makes about as much sense as Ned.

[donco6]

27. No way. Ned Flanders actually has a heart.

He's just really, really annoying.

[Tutonic]

15. Delete.

Delete. I'm saving moderator the trouble.

[bigtree]

16. the hokey-doke

don't allow yourself to be bamboozled

[Lakerstan]

19. He used this often in the primaries

Hoodwinked, bamboozled

[BlooInBloo]

21. You betcha! (wink)

[Berry Cool]

22. I laughed when he said that.

All I could think of was Sarah Palin saying "You betcha!"

[unkachuck]

24. I see....

....a pink Palin button with no mcsame on it (I can't see her broom either)....is this an old photo or is she already running for the 2012 puke nomination?....

[Hekate]

28. The okey-doke: con, flim-flam, sleight of hand, scam. Good recent essay about Obama at link....

<snip>
The okey-doke first entered the national lexicon in 1932, used by Depression-era African-Americans to describe, as the Urban Dictionary has it, "a con." In other words, it can be used to succinctly sum up the cultural and political quicksand we find ourselves in. <snip>

[illuminaughty]

29. This is when she reminds me of Edith Prickley

SCTV fans anyone?

[jules1962]

31. did she show her boobies for those beads? ewwww
