"Mendoucheous."

Fred4Pres, commenting in the Laurence Tribe post, uses the world "mendoucheous." An obvious portmanteau word, it's easy to understand, but I go and look it up in Urban Dictionary anyway, because I want to see if it has (semi-)official recognitions, and it is listed and defined, but no one's voted on it yet...



I give it the thumbs up.

First!

Right-wingers and their creative insults. Gotta love 'em.

Sal કહ્યું...

Second!

અજ્ઞાત કહ્યું...

Asshat - that is hilarious.!

Shouting Thomas કહ્યું...

Yes, but no definition of the word so far.

MadisonMan કહ્યું...

If Obama came out for breathing, then half the blogosphere would call it mendoucheous.

I thought of that as I read in the morning paper Brett Hulsey's reaction to Scott Walker tweeting. (For all you Scott Walker fans, he's an AI fan -- or at least, he watches it).

Whatever it is, I'm against it!

Shouting Thomas કહ્યું...

If Obama came out for breathing, then half the blogosphere would call it mendoucheous.

Obama is against breathing.

Produces CO2, you know!

Douchnozzles works better for me. How many people know what mendacious means?

traditionalguy કહ્યું...

I believe that is the brand name on Obama's Teleprompters.

The Bose Corporation has the trade mark.

Oh well, I lied.

Widely Seen કહ્યું...

The definition could be along the lines of producing a shower of lies...

Wow, finally a C_H post I can get on board with (and understand). Add douchenugget. I'm old school.

Geoff Matthews કહ્યું...

"uses the world".

Spelling troll.

Jim Ellison કહ્યું...

Wouldn't it be redundant to call someone a "mendouceous asshat?"

xnar કહ્યું...

That Obamatard certainly is a mendoucheous asshat.

અજ્ઞાત કહ્યું...

Oh no!

Althouse celebrating a "made-up" word?

Some may find cause to mock the Good professor, similar to this.

Consider it refutiation

traditionalguy કહ્યું...

Ok, what's an asshat? Is a hole involved in the answer?

edutcher કહ્યું...

As Spencer Tracy once noted, "The English language is a damned poor enough means of communication as it is, so we should be able to use all the words available".

Once again showing our imagination and ingenuity.

traditionalguy કહ્યું...

Browndog...One must spell made up words correctly. It is refuddiation.

I believe that it is from an Elmer Fudd cartoon. Elmer Refudded that crazy rabbit.

I do like "asshat". It has a certain clarity of intent and imagery.

When stumbling around the Urban Dictionary, I discovered "question fart". I never heard of that, but if I am ever in the presence of one, it's gonna put me on the floor now.

અજ્ઞાત કહ્યું...

"..Fred4Pres, commenting in the Laurence Tribe post, uses the world "mendoucheous." An obvious portmanteau word, .."

Cripes! I had to look up 'portmanteau' before moving on to 'menducheous'.

Big Daddy for one.

Unknown કહ્યું...

Little known fact: a critical mass of the mendoucheous in America can be found in Mendouchino County, CA.

અજ્ઞાત કહ્યું...

I find it hard to believe "asshat" is new to Althouse readers.

It's as old as "moonbat" and "libtard"

...all of which are accurate descriptions...just sayin'

Quaestor કહ્યું...

Mendoucheous - of or pertaining to a particularly vile sort of mendacity, ranking somewhere below statistics, as in the mendacity of hope.

wv: revirts - devolved previrts (coined by Major Bartholomew "Bat" Guano, USA)

Fred4Pres કહ્યું...

Glad to help with creative references from the right wing.

Fred4Pres કહ્યું...

Asshat is more of a way to get around filters that ban asshole.

virgil xenophon કહ્યું...

I hope everyone here knows that all of this--ALL of IT--started with none other than President Dwight D. Eisenhower when he coined the word "finalization." It's been open-season ever since...Before then? Not much shakin.'

Fred4Pres કહ્યું...

I suppose some lefties might call me mendoucheous for suggesting Larry Tribe should go hiking in Yellowstone with peanut butter smeared all over him...

But I was joking and even if I wasn't, bears have to eat too.

Sal કહ્યું...

The word now has 53 thumbs up, so we accomplished something today.

Some mendoucheous asshat gave it a thumbs down. Thanks, Garage.

The Mendacity of Hope.

I claim the word "millionaireogance" for the attitude of those who think their money or status qualifies them to be a-holes. See "Alec Baldwin" for the exemplar.

chuckR કહ્યું...

Great - another new-to-me colorful descriptor for our pin head brethren. I'll resolve to use it next week along with presstitute, which describes members of the MSM.

Twofer - boy, that David Plouffe sure is mendoucheous, but the presstitutes will consign his latest imbecilic pronouncement to oblivion.

Jack Bauer કહ્યું...

I prefer to think of myself as a member of the Far Righteous.

One hopes that will reach the Urban Dictionary.

Bagoh @ 1:23 PM. Might I suggest you just roll down your car's window?

Carol_Herman કહ્યું...

Today, Murdoch closed his World News. And, we've been delivered of "REVERSE FERRET." Truly, a worthy award winnah. Which describes gutter journalism's tactic, "of dropping a ferret down someone's pants" knowing the ferret was a false charge. Getting caught. And, a Murdoch editor runs into the press room shouting "REVERSE FERRET" ...

Then, closing a profitable newspaper just to stop the police from investigating Murdoch any further.

Curious George at 11:52 ...

It's a douche nugget ... only if the douche water ... flushes it out into the open.

The douche nozzle, however, gets to do its work by going into the vagina.

It's not mendacious to douche.

Anne M Ford કહ્યું...

"...presstitute, which describes members of the MSM." Actually I thought a presstitute was a protester who goes out of his way to get on camera, like segway guy.
