  As the election results were being announced, a bystander might have thought that I was suffering from coprolalia, so foul was my language.    

 

No pushing at the door please!

Get your homework in, miscreants. I’ve got an early afternoon flight out of DFW and will be unable to grade papers after 10 a.m. Central Time.

My objection to coprolalia and those consumed by it is that it seems to be a substitute for doing the work of acquiring an actual functional vocabulary; the very antithesis of what we’re trying to accomplish with this thread.

copralalia = “winning an argument”, if you’re a leftist.

the sight of the Obams prompts coprolalia in me. A much worse case than the Clintoon prompted, which is pretty mindboggling.
