Words used in a presidential joint address to Congress for the first time this year include "spine," "legend," "motto," "unaccustomed."

Also "booby" (in "booby-trapped") and "crutches," "respiration," "tormentors," and "timelines." Trump was also the first President since Andrew Jackson to use "weep." Last year, Trump was the first President to say "vile" and "lawn."

I'm reading an article in The Washington Post that lists Trump's new words — along with the corresponding words by Presidents Obama, George W. Bush, and Clinton.

Obama was first to say "swipe," "antsy," obesity," "laundry," "bump," "bone," and "freak."

Bush was the first to say "waitress," "dripping," "daddy," "mom," "incoherent," "Muslim," and "hotel."

Bill Clinton was first to say "horrendous," "bunch," "mohair," "toys," "punchline," "gay," "baseball," and "heartbroken."

I'm surprised Bill Clinton wasn't the first to say "bone": "I did not bone that woman, Ms. Lewinsky."

Bilwick म्हणाले...

Words that wouldn't have been used in the SOTU speech had Hillary been elected: "liberty," "Constitution," and "honesty."

TrespassersW म्हणाले...

"I realize that Congressional Republicans are unaccustomed to actually showing some spine, if they did, it would become the stuff of legend."

Couldn't figure out how to work "motto" in there.

For Roy:

The old motto of Congressional Republicans was "roll over, roll over..."

Obama was first to say ... "bone,"...

Noun, or verb?

Bush was the first to say "waitress," "dripping,"

I'm surprised it wasn't Clinton.

Achilles म्हणाले...

Someone should find out who was first to say conspiracy, coup, perjury, FISA, FISC, "mass indictments," collusion...

Trumpit म्हणाले...

Trump, a booby, makes me weep bigly. Sad! And as the worst president of all time, one hopes he will get the booby prize of impeachment, and then oblivion. George W. Bush was notoriously incoherent in thoughts, speech, and actions. Bush, Cheney, Rice, et al., all get the historical booby prize of infamy (and hell) for starting a war in the Middle East that killed a million people.

Bay Area Guy म्हणाले...

If Hillary had won, we woulda heard, "pantsuit," "e-mails," "eruptions," "bimbos," "kiss it"

Nonapod म्हणाले...

Just glancing at those words certain impressions are driven home for me. For example, I'll note that Obama was a divider who was fond of strawman arguments. It's not surprising that many of his first-used-SotU-words tended to have adversarial and group based connotations. Like any good proponent of identity politics, he liked identifying groups and discussing their grievances.

Left Bank of the Charles म्हणाले...

Trump was also the last President to use "the" in a Presidential address to Congress.

traditionalguy म्हणाले...

They should also scan the Tweets for the year for new Presidential uses of words on social platforms. That would be some real entertainment.

Char Char Binks, Esq. म्हणाले...

I'm still waiting for "garner".

Obama was first to say "bump," "bone," and "freak."

Some jokes make their own gravy.

Obama was first to say "swipe," "antsy," obesity," "laundry," "bump," "bone," and "freak."

Bump, bone and freak were all in the same sentence, if I recall.

lgv म्हणाले...

Obama's word list seems unimpressive. My favorite word in the entire list is mohair. I've always wanted a mohair suit.


JohnAnnArbor म्हणाले...

"Mohair"?

madAsHell म्हणाले...

I figured Obama was the first to use the word smidgen......or is Obama's statement already being white-washed out of history.

TrespassersW म्हणाले...

And electric boots, lgv?

James Pawlak म्हणाले...

Have any presidents used the words: Traitor; Whore; Pimp(-ing); Scum; Puke?

FullMoon म्हणाले...

Bush, Cheney, Rice, et al., all get the historical booby prize of infamy (and hell) for starting a war in the Middle East that killed a million people.

Halliburton !!!Halliburton!! OIL !! OIL !!!

Drago म्हणाले...

Obama only used the words "I" and about 5 others...hmmm...none of which I can recall at this time.

Drago म्हणाले...

Trumpit forgot to include Trump and his policies killing over 784 Million americans (all of us about 2.5 times over, according to lefty complaints.

The Godfather म्हणाले...

Wasn't Obama the first to use the words "if" "you" "like" "your" "plan" "doctor" "you" "can" "keep" "your" "plan" "doctor"?

Meade म्हणाले...

"Obama was first to say "swipe,""

5 years ago, February 12, 2013:

"America must also face the rapidly growing threat from cyber-attacks. (Applause.) Now, we know hackers steal people’s identities and infiltrate private emails. We know foreign countries and companies swipe our corporate secrets. Now our enemies are also seeking the ability to sabotage our power grid, our financial institutions, our air traffic control systems. We cannot look back years from now and wonder why we did nothing in the face of real threats to our security and our economy.

And that’s why, earlier today, I signed a new executive order that will strengthen our cyber defenses by increasing information sharing, and developing standards to protect our national security, our jobs, and our privacy. (Applause.)"

Remember:

As early as 2009, officials with the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) expressed concerns over possible violations of normal federal government record-keeping procedures at the State Department under then-Secretary Clinton.

In December 2012, near the end of Clinton's tenure as Secretary of State, a nonprofit group called Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, or CREW, filed a FOIA request seeking records about her email. CREW received a response in May 2013: "no records responsive to your request were located." Emails sent to Clinton's private clintonemail.com address were first discovered in March 2013, when a hacker named "Guccifer" widely distributed emails sent to Clinton from Sidney Blumenthal, which Guccifer obtained by illegally accessing Blumenthal's email account. The emails dealt with the 2012 Benghazi attack and other issues in Libya and revealed the existence of her clintonemail.com address.

Blumenthal did not have a security clearance when he received material from Clinton that has since been characterized as classified by the State Department.

Damn it Drago! Steal my joke (Which actually was -- What? Obama used words other than "I"?)

That and anyone convicting Trump of Obama's crimes is/hasbeen/willbe described again and again; you just didn't see it.

Fighting the last war has blinded you, so you scream louder.

We feel your pain brother.

"I mean, he himself is described as heavy, sure. But I can't remember hearing some newsreader say "Moore's heavily edited documentary alleges..." or anything like that. Why?"

They want you to know the falsehoods you speak are ridiculous but that you are forced to say them anyway against your will, or just impotently ask "why" like a child.

That is how they know they control you.

Why do they want to control you?

Because they can.

I thought we owned bondage too. Did we cede away the slaves I put in chains or something? Those chains aren't cheap friendo.

Maybe I will use zip ties next time.

Obama was the master of narcissistic diction. He set records for the use if I and probably for using me. He said folks quite often as well when he wanted to bond with his audience. He lived in a forest of strawmen.

Guildofcannonballs म्हणाले...

Could anyone make some cashodough saying "Yeah but, ya know, know now that is now knownly known as settled, and it shoulda been "for" not "of" and ergo is all completely asinine.

Of ya know the part extrapolate to the whole and all, in these specific circunstances, which are all that matter, duh, otherwise why aren't we all ya know some other entity asking others other questions about other things regarding not the things we are referring to, natch.

I'll degrade myself, yet again, and give it; if I said I never would I was knowingly lying.

I get off on, not quite unlike the Jerry Springer audience(s), the zingers.

Nasty as they wanna be.

I tried to rise above and failed. But I will, indeed times seven times seven times seven times many many sevens, try again.

I applaud a Great American, Ann Althouse, for allowing for me to be so very personally grateful for our freedoms and liberty.

Showing these faggy boomercuck Vichy Americans how an American acts is an act of Americanism. Still.

Guildofcannonballs म्हणाले...

Anybody who cared could spend a lifetime appreciating American spirit(s), and ergo we, Americans, all know we have to be weary of those attacking us, especially when it, the attacks, are all of the same variety: God loved you too much and might take it away so listen to me and what I say.

Too many variables of multi.

I know it doesn't matter, but I believe J eff G oldstein helped show me how to think like no other.

He did it for free to me not including a bunch of dumb things that don't make it free to me or anyone, I am Friedman nosuchfreelunchthing guying, but I am also a harmful jackass.

It took courage for protein wisdom to do what it did, and that is truly how I found Althouse*.

Like an anti-Sir Archy, or hate-filled Tequilla-ed up Feste (hat tip Sir), or sober Ritno, I too found myself unwanted, unloved, and most importantly, rightfully so.

*I thought it was hillarious my favorite proteinwisdom post you thought was not labeled as satire or something but a true "live blog" of some CPAC or something event where J.G. played the funny guy and insulted his future-to-be boss R.

I thought the Dead lyric in Uncle John's Band was "there was, a guild of cannon balls, there motto is Don't Tread on Me" but lo and behold it was wactually more like "there Walls are built with cannon balls, their motto is don't tread on me" so I guess I was wrong all along.
