what's your favorite name for *, and how did it evolve?

[Bertha Venation]

I call him Twig, and thought its origin would be self-evident til someone asked me about it. I don't know where I first heard it or if it was the very coinage of my brain, but it refers to the fact that *'s a little bush but even smaller than a shrub. He's just a twig.

The ones I don't get are Duck Wad & Whistle Ass. I hope to be relieved of my ignorance with this thread.

What's your favorite thing to call our esteemed president? Where did your name for him come from?

[greatauntoftriplets]

1. Numbnuts.

Because it has to be true.

[arcane1]

2. used to call him the Piltdown President but it didn't really catch on

Bush has the benefit of being both an ape-man and a fraud, so I thought the name fit rather well :evilgrin:


lol, on edit, I just caught the pun in your question, how did it evolve :silly:

[Bertha Venation]

14. I knew someone would get it

and I'm not surprised it's you, honey. ;)

[arcane1]

16. lol, you should be!

everything has been going over my head today :crazy:

:hi:

[unblock]

3. mr. ex-resident

self-explanatory

[Thor_MN]

4. I call him DoubleDip

Because he still has a chance to lead a doubledip recession and he is just light years beyond being a dip.

I think a lady (IIRC 87 Years old) was interviewed and she called him a Whistle Ass. It was so appropriate, it stucjk.

[arcane1]

7. yeah, Sally something-or-other

she died, and left her estate to be spent on any org that will work to get Bush out of office

Brainstorm-in-a-teacup

The term storm in a teacup means effectively much ado about nothing-making a huge deal out of an issue only to find out it was nothing. Brainstorm-in-a-teacup, because the Freepers always go on about how he's always right and all his ideas are going to save us all, then it turns out time and again it was faked.

[despairing optimist]

5. Sonofabush

Pretty much sums it up and provides a genetic perspective.

[redqueen]

33. Hi ceejayay

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[phrenzy]

6. Dim Son

I really like "Dim Son" - Also I think pResident Evil is pretty good too.

But I think my favorite from here on DU is

drum roll.....

9. Actually, I think my fave is C+ Augustus

next to the one I came up with, of course!

[KamaAina]

8. Whistle Ass came from Wisconsin Bush-basher Sally Baron

http://www.whistleass.com/

Almost in unison, what her children decided to include in the obituary was this: "Memorials in her honor can be made to any organization working for the removal of President Bush."

"She thought he was a liar," Baron's daughter, Maureen Bettilyon, said. "I think his personality, just standing there with that smirk on his face, and acting like he's this holy Christian, that's what really got her."

"She'd always watch CNN, C-SPAN, and you know, she'd just swear at the TV and say 'Oh, Bush, he's such a whistle ass!' She'd just get so mad," Bettilyon said.

[DaveSZ]

10. Shrub

I can't remember if it was Ann Richards or Molly Ivins who gave him that name.

:)

[Cursive_Knives512]

11. I just call him Bush,

Or Bush*. He doesn't really deserve a nickname... besides, his record of office is more humiliating and embarrassing than any nickname possible. :-)

[bobthedrummer]

12. George W. Bush aka The War President

should read like that on the indictments imho.

[Webster Green]

13. "Smirky" and "Chimpy", .....both names are very apt.

I also like the website http://www.smirkingchimp.com

And their motto: Ask not at whom the chimp smirks - He smirks at you!

[arwalden]

15. Have You Ever Noticed That The Asterisk "*" Looks Like A Butt Hole?

Just wondering.

-- Allen

[CO Liberal]

17. "Pretzelboy"

From the day he (snicker snicker) "choked on a pretzel". To this day, I believe he was drunk and passed out.

[Archae]

18. REMF-In-Chief.

Anyone with any knowledge of the military knows what a REMF is.

And that's what Bush has always been.

[Bertha Venation]

27. REMF:

rear echelon mother f*'er?

[rocktivity]

19. I started off with Georgie The Smirking Chimp

Then moved on to The Pretzel-Dunce:


Now it's just Georgie because it so beautifully encapsulates his arrested development.

:headbang:
rocknation

[Dees]

20. Monkeynuts...via bartcop

[ILeft]

21. The Pestilent of the United States

Because he is a baneful carrier for death and misery.

I'm also partial to Junior Bush and the Chimperor.

[solinvictus]

22. El Presidente

Because he's running the country like a banana republic.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

23. DubyaDumbyaDumbyass

Ain't evolution great?

[MisterP]

24. Blank-Eyed Chimp, due to his appearance

S---head, whenever he reveals his ugly, crooked inner self

[maddezmom]

25. I thought I was the only one...

Twig has been my favorite after reading Molly's "Shrub". Shrub is much too full of life and dignified...he's twig to me. No one uses the term here much, but when I see the * I think "twig". :)

[carols]

26. I know it isn't original, but "fucking moron" is usually what comes out

when I talk about *.
My pet name for Jeb is "Spawn of Satan."
Carol

[MissMillie]

28. Cokehead

but * works ok too.

I think everyone knows where I got the name "Cokehead"

[Spirochete]

29. I call him

the Crawford Cretin more than anything else, other than just plain *.
Am really looking forward to calling him former president Bush.

[Jack from Charlotte]

30. AWOL/Moron

[redqueen]

31. Usurper Boy

Because he has all the executive ability of a small child, and because he seized power with no legitimate claim to it.

[July]

32. Dip W. Shit

I think I got it from someone here at DU.

[drumwolf]

34. my favorites:

-- Chimperor
-- the Boy King
-- Cokehead-in-Chief
-- First Primate
-- Repigula

[Skittles]

35. F***ING ASSHOLE

BECAUSE HE IS A F***ING ASSHOLE.

[gpandas]

37. me too. origin was first time i heard him speak nt

[Beefheart]

36. The Face of the Cheney Administration

A figurehead, a campaigner, an actor filling a role. Anything but "President."

[Bluzmann57]

38. Stupid Mf^#!er

I think its self explanatory. Got a few more, but won't print them here.

[Canuckistanian]

39. Smirky McBunnypants

Why? because I saw it on Bartcop and it describes what he is - a harmless clown who is the tool of the truly evil wielders of power.

[GOPisEvil]

40. His Chimperial Majesty

Or, more recently, The Idiot.

[southerngirlwriter]

41. I like the * because it denies him the right to have his name

spoken. Naming something gives it credence and credibility.

In conversation, though, instead of saying "asterisk," I usually say "the unelected fratboy fuckwad." :D

[mouse7]

42. Dumbya

Very simple. Never had anyone misidentify who I was talking about, no matter what their background in politics was.
