"Eurotard": officially my new favorite slur.

IN THE COMMENTS: Some inapt ravings from link nonclickers. To them, I say, if you were born in July, you are a Leotard.

Yup.

Eli Blake, thankfully we have Obama to bail us out.

Eurotard...You-are-a-retard said by a French speaker. This may offend Sen.John Kerry, and he is part of the 60 votes needed to ratify a sale of Wisconsin back to the French Canadians.

Trooper,

I know you'll be reading this. I'm watchng an ol' favorite:

"She Wore a Yellow Ribbon"

am at Sudros wells and Trooper Smth (aka BG Rome Clay) has just been buried.

a classic

Bruce Hayden ayon kay ...

When I first read the heading, I thought it said "Euroturd". But "Eurotard" is bad enough, with "tard" now being a suffix meaning "retard".

Automatic_Wing ayon kay ...

I think I'll stick with my Freedomtard, thank you very much.

Sofa King ayon kay ...

Yup.

AND, the right is officially intellectually bankrupt.

Well, laughing is now forbidden. What's next, dancing?

Lighten up, you humorless prude.

Ernesto Ariel Suárez ayon kay ...

I have no words. Trooper, I'm sending you my dry cleaning bill.

Sofa King:

What's mutually exclusive about laughing and pointing out the intellectual bankruptcy of that sentiment?

Learn to walk and chew gum, you incompetent boob. And if you're unable to get over that low bar, at least learn that others can.

Sofa King ayon kay ...

What sentiment? That something is funny? You're asking what's mutually exclusive about laughing at something and pointing out that it's not funny?

Ernesto Ariel Suárez ayon kay ...

What is intellectually bankrupt about laughing, Audry?

And your second paragraph is rather confusing. It seems to agree with Sofa King...but no.

Reinaldo Arenas wrote in Antes que anochezca (Before Night Falls) that tyrannies are self-important, boring, and completely devoid of humor. It is not simply coincidence that those who dream of tyranny are also dull, humorless and self-important.

Laura(southernxyl) ayon kay ...

Don't like the -tard thing. I also didn't like Obama's Special Olympics slur. It seems to me that if people are to be used as an example of stupidity or incompetence, less vulnerable people can be picked out.

EKC,

Nothing's intellectually bankrupt about mere laughter, per se. The right's adoption of the slur "Eurotard" is a different story.

Sofa,

"What sentiment?"

Scroll up. Stop when you reach the topic line or the post that Eli responded to. Do have fun dueling with that strawman, though.

Henry ayon kay ...

Hiptard is not available, nor does it have the European flair.

Palladian ayon kay ...

Can you fit a douchebag into a Eurotard? Because there sure are a lot of douchebaggers around here.

It sounds to me like some kind of futuristic one-piece stretchy garment you could buy at Capezio. Unisex, transnational.

Henry ayon kay ...

McCoy: Darn it, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a Eurotard.

SteveR ayon kay ...

Thankfully we only have to deal with one variety, imagine the confusion.. Franctard, Liratard, Marktar, pesetatard, guildertard

Peter V. Bella ayon kay ...

Eurotard is actually a brand of womens, ahem, under accessories. Trooper York did a blog on this. They are trying to compete with Spanx. I much prefer the term Euroturd. It is similar to Libturd and is more appropriate.

Chip Ahoy ayon kay ...

Please check the link before offering your knee-jerk response. You might see why this is so funny, then again, maybe not.

Trooper, you said something over there that's interesting to me. Since Spanx sell so well even in small sizes do you keep them stocked for maximum sales? My favorite local aquarium shop almost never has neon tetras. They get them in and they sell immediately because they're the most popular with little kids. This makes me ask why they don't buy huge quantities but the store acts like they're beholden to a single supplier. If it were me, I'd find multiple suppliers so they're always in stock. That, or breed them myself.

Peter V. Bella ayon kay ...

Of course I am waiting for Napolitanotard or turd.

Buford Gooch ayon kay ...

So nice to have a new libtard scold to set us straight. I would certainly hate to do anything politically incorrect.

Automatic_Wing ayon kay ...

Chip Ahoy - I don't think Eurotards breed in captivity. And stop being so insensitive, dammit!

Sofa King ayon kay ...

"What sentiment?"

Sanctimonious and ill-informed! A winning combination! You and Eli make quite a couple.

An elegant solution, but I don't think it will work with undergarments.

Chip Ahoy ayon kay ...

I knew I should have put in a paragraph break.

So Eli Blake is a Eurotard. Fascinating - but not unexpected.

And let's not forget the dearly missed Fake Steve (of Steve Jobs' Secret Diary fame) who gifted the language with:

• Yelptard (v. any Yelper)

Oh dear. Do you know what you've just done?

On another note, I'm surprised no one has said Obamatard(s).

Jennifer ayon kay ...

Chip Ahoy - Shipping fish is prohibitively expensive. You can't just ship Neon Tetras because the cost would far outweigh any returns. That's why pet stores tend to stick with just the one supplier unless they're dealing with high margin, exotic types.

Bissage ayon kay ...

Somewhat unsurprisingly, my visit to both the Spanx and Eurotard websites confirmed that neither produces an undergarment intended to attractively shape and smooth the cankle.

It's only a matter of time before someone plays the race tard.

Hey, professor, I was born in July, but I'm not a Leo! *sigh*
Fidel Castro is a Leotard, among other tard-ish things.

July is a Cancer, at least July 8th is. Does that make me a Cancotard?

Darcy ayon kay ...

As someone noted on Twitter, Insty linked to this blog post - not Trooper's. Aww. Troop should have gotten that link (and I'm sure Reynolds didn't mean to deprive him)...but maybe it will call attention to his blog, anyway.

Belatedly...very funny how a few jumped on this as a right wing thing. LOL.

Ernesto Ariel Suárez ayon kay ...

OK, if retard is not an insult, why can't it be used in polite conversation anymore? I am truly confused.

Thank you so much for the link Professor.

It really is hilarious that Eli doesn't get it. But not surprising.

Trooper York ayon kay ...

What is really even more funny about shape wear is that some brands put a "pee-hole" in it so woman don't have to take it off to urinate. Now no one in their right mind would do that but it is pretty amusing that they include this as a feature and not a bug. What the hell are they thinking?

chickelit ayon kay ...

Cameltoe, I guess.

Darcy ayon kay ...

LOL, chickenlittle. :)

Those would be called "peetards".

For the peeps that don't get these jokes.

Trooper York ayon kay ...

I know chickenlittle. That is exactly what I call them when I tell the girls that they don't want to be hoist on their own peetard.

Then they always get the Spanx microfiber high waisted smoother.

Eura-fun one too! :-)

In Germany they are called "Leiderhoser".
