Liberals are winning the language war

 

 

" Of course, conservatives have a few solid catch-phrases. “Pro-life” worked  because opposition means . . . pro-death. And a couple of recent terms like “job creators” to refer to businesspeople and “death panels” to refer to healthcare experts have hit the mark. But Republicans are still way behind.

Speaking of "catch phrases" here's one I've used for years ...... "Giblets".  It usually refers to the chicken guts (heart, gizzard, liver and other visceral organs) packed by a butcher in a bag inside his prepared chicken carcass.  My wife and I use the term   "GBLT", pronounced gib-let, to refer to the gay movement.... as opposed to the more common LGBT.  I think the connection is appropriate.  [clipper]
