THAT is a rabbit hole worthy of plundering.
If enviros are all about the natural system
they ought to celebrate effluvium et al.
Many, I whiff, do.
Some, like Gorbalists, seem twisted into an obscene priss.
They could not rise to the challenge of celebrating their drek.

Well FYI I NEVER use dreck to mean shit, other than allegorically, as discussed above. That is, after all, the hidden agenda of WFTD, to reveal the complex usage of hidden gems of literary interest.
Judging by the number of posts, Drek/dreck seems to be just such a bon mot.

I am not sure I agree as to “covfefe” - admittedly its meaning is in the mist (thank you Donald) - but I will give you “schlonged.”
Hillary seems remarkably adept at whipping out the schlong, inarguably, fetid and rank.

Bring back Yiddish mothers, a la “The Goldbergs.” They are a source of joy and celebration.

Elsewhere on these threads (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3564756/posts) another poster (VietVet876) proferred a word, “jenkem,” the very epitome of “drek.” It is right up there with covfefe for its mendacity. Look it up at your peril.

CNN is in a free fall
A major ratings stall
But what the heck
Nothing but dreck
As Acosta demands a recall.

Not sure about the spelling, but your mother’s words mean “drop dead” and “whore.” Along with “dreck,” these expressions are excellent to use when being cut off on the highway or when watching CNN or MSNBC.

The previous word with more than 50 replies was one with sexual innuendo. Lower body effluents appear to be of superior interest to WFTD FReepers.

Ah, but she always used “regular” or “real” as a pronoun. My mom was a product of Hester St., NYC, the best part was she wasn’t Jewish, but spoke fluent Yiddish. It was so bad, she spoke Italian with a Yiddish accent, and made it hard to understand.

The appointment of Robert Mueller as special prosecutor is a reprise of “The Dreck of the Patrick Fitzgerald” …
