“Lickspittle,” “run down and eviscerated,” “pompous”... The word choices of statesmen in these post-Brexit, post-Trump years have been more on the nose than in many prior decades.
How soon before we dust off LBJ’s “pigfucker”?
The Brits have always been more direct and crude, but with style. I’d like to see our politicians adopt a similar approach. Hearing Trump and Biden challenge each other to fisticuffs is a sad and embarrassing spectacle. I want hear Joe say, “I’d beat that outer borough goon like a gong.” Perhaps comment on Trump’s “ample carriage, carried like a Kardashian, or a victim of Klinefelter’s Syndrome, precluding his purchase of a properly tailored suit.”
