Was Donald Trump right about ‘schlonged’ all along?
Washington Post ^

Posted on 12/22/2015 8:26:14 PM PST by springwater13

In March of 2011, Cillizza was interviewed by NPR's Neil Conan to discuss the then-recent death of 1984 Democratic vice presidential nominee Geraldine Ferraro. Conan, who was born in Beirut but grew up in New York City, used the expression to describe the outcome of that race, which Ferraro and Walter Mondale lost overwhelmingly.

CONAN: Chris Cillizza, that ticket went on to get schlonged at the polls, but that's a historic moment.

CILLIZZA: Absolutely historic moment, Neal, but as you point out, lost 49 states. The only state that that ticket won, which was led by Walter Mondale, was his home state of Minnesota.

A veritable schlonging. (The word didn't impress itself upon Cillizza at the time, he said over email Tuesday evening, nor does it seem to have fazed him during the interview.)

Slang like "schlonged" wouldn't normally crop up in written journalism, of course. That it appears in a radio broadcast, where editing is trickier, isn't really a surprise. Conan, like Trump, is in his late 60s, suggesting that there may be a generational aspect to its use. Lots of words that were common and unremarkable decades ago are now viewed as disrespectful or inappropriate, of course, but Trump, it seems, might well be right.

Origin of schlong

Yiddish shlang, literally, snake, from Middle High German slange, from Old High German So Hillary could have been snaked.

So a Lebanese guy will determine the meaning of a Yiddish term? You have all been schlonged. And by that I mean it in the best terms possible.

They can’t admit it; the best they can do is ask it as a question. What is this, Jeopardy?

Yeah, they're only doing this now, after spending days hemoraghing from their eyes, ears, noses and throats simultaneously!!!

The MSMedia are all a shameful collection of "pant-loads!!!" (I say this being as uneasy about Trump as I've been about Schwartzenrenegger from beginning to embarrassing end... now he's taking over the Apprentice show from gutsy, but obnoxious Trumpentine)

Celebrity politicos are draining the dignity from office holders who used to be addressed as "The Honorable __________" whathisname!!!

Rush was having fun today. He had the translation meaning that Hillary was shafted by Obama.
