Stephen Colbert jammer videre fra Plains Trump-anbefaling og hele vejen til Allen Ginsbergs Howl

Palin går fuld Jabberwocky

- fra Sarah Palins anbefalingstale for Donald Trump, kommenteret af New York Times - et ægte (med Humpty Dumptys term) portemonnæ -ord:

“And you quit footing the bill for these nations who are oil-rich, we’re paying for some of their squirmishes that have been going on for centuries. Where they’re fighting each other and yelling ‘Allahu akbar,’ calling jihad on each other’s heads forever and ever. Like I’ve said before, let them duke it out and let Allah sort it out.”

Here, Mrs. Palin accomplishes many things unusual for a political speaker: She recites the Arabic phrase for “God is great,” and, more notably, coins a new word, squirmishes, a cross between squirm (which means to wriggle the body from side to side) and skirmish (which means a brief fight or encounter between small groups). Twitter embraced the new term instantly.
