"...mumpsimus...a condition you get while having the mumps that affects your pronunciation of the word sinus"

[afraidfortherepublic]

OK. I’m little bit awake now.

The nation has had an unfamiliar word thrust upon us in the past few weeks — derecho — due to the violent storms that swept DC. In trepidation that I might engage in a mumpsimus after seeing derecho used in report, after report, and never hearing it pronounced, I looked it up on the Web and was surprised to discover that my first inclination to pronounce it dar’—ee—ko is wrong. So, to avoid an embarrassing mumpsimus, I’ve been practicing the correct pronunciation which is more like dare—eh’—cho.

Seems as though it ought to be “Senator Mumpsimus”.

Twenty somethings saying “my bad” instead of “It was my mistake.”

Towards Holder, I’m bristling with animus
As he keeps putting forward the mumpsimus
That his “contempt” has no basis
It’s just that we’re racist
The lies of a true rectus maximus

Mumpsimus

This mumpsimus will need our DCT, that’s Deep Cyphering Tek-nee-que.

Mump is a lump turned into a mountain and si mas sounds like Spanish for “yes, more” so maybe this Sir Water Scotch fella was Spanish.
Now I know it was spelled simus not simas but spelling is just opinion and opinions are like fleas, they come and go.

So let’s not get all in tell lectual here and start wearing glasses and underwear every day and stuff.

So, you want a mumpsimus
Here is a lefty favorite I guess
All welfare helps the poor
And we won't have any more
If only the rich give more not less
