Hillary Evolves Into A 'Clinquant'

Btw, late in yesterday's thread it was noted by one freeper that 'clinquant' can also mean 'something with a false and showy glitter'. That fits too, but I'll go with Rogets - fake, cheat, sham, phony, and imposter. That works for me.

And all the other little delicacies of the word 'clinquant', that were noted by the other posters, just add to the flavor. I think this is a keeper.

And by the way, Senator Ted Kennedy has picked up a new nickname since he referred to the Conservative judges as "Neanderthals".

From now on, to me at least, he is "Homo-Chappaquiddus"!

PING a ding!

[thesummerwind]

Another poster then brilliantly pitched in, “ I was amused to see the letters compromising the originally intended word even occured in the same order embedded in the word ‘Clinquant’ ........... (Hillary Clinton is a Clinquant without the LINQA)

Thanks for this to the all-observant, Lazamataz.

Oh, dont bother. He'll continue to use the short form, I'm sure. :D

[concerned about politics]

HILLARY CLINQUANT

Not bad. Not bad at all. It's an attention getter, too. The nickname has "grovitosh", a word the voters are well informend about (not by their own free will) these days.

[countrydummy]

lol lol I am sure you are correct!!!!!

[thesummerwind]

Oh, dont bother. He'll continue to use the short form,

LOL!

I trust you will come to rely on Mia T's posts as an anecdote to Hillary's presence. She has been thoroughly deconstructed on Free Republic, along with her co-psychopathic husband.

[thesummerwind]

I'm confused by your remark(s).

[thesummerwind]

She has been thoroughly deconstructed on Free Republic, along with her co-psychopathic husband.

"She" - I hope you mean "Hillary" has been thoroughly deconstruced.......

[thesummerwind]

Mia T <IMHO, is one of the foremost artists of our time. She is truly inspired. Her work is brilliant!

Clinquant, I like it. I wonder how long it will take the media to pick up on this.

What is the derrivation of this word? I never heard of it before, but it sure sounds appropriate. It should be the mandatory word of the day for Freepers.

[EggsAckley]

I agree that Mia T is brilliant, however, in my neighborhood the fastest internet I can get is 46.6kb, and it just takes too long for most of Mia's stuff to load. I get timed out and booted off the web. No solution for it, either. Very remote; old wires.

[Helms]

Yes, I meant Hillary and not to take away from your word choice.

[thesummerwind]

Hillary....The Queen of Darkness!

[Verginius Rufus]

Actually, that should be coup de grace, not coup de gras. Natural mistake to make, though, since gras(se) is French for "fat."

[The UnVeiled Lady]

but listen to the words it's associated with. Fake, cheat, sham, phony, imposter. How perfect is that?

Would love to know where you found these associated words.

my Theasaurus doesn't have it.

My crossword dictionary says Tinsel

and my big dictionary says ...glittering with or as with gold or silver; tinseled. Imitation gold leaf: tinsel

pronounced (kling'kent) but the e in kent is upside down. So how do you pronounce it?

and tho I LOVED your defination, this one doesn't compute.

Hillary Clinquant....but don't forget the "Rodham", the name she so conveniently adds and removes from her moniker as it serves her purpose.

[upchuck]

LOL! Go here ^ and check out the pronunciation. LOL!!
