In reply to the discussion: Another Shout Out To Merrick Garland [View all]Oopsie Daisy
(6,670 posts)I see now that this is yet another juvenile nickname for Trump that creates stumbling blocks for the exchange of information among folks who do not have the Jockey Code Book... or for those who simply do not see the value in memorizing the nickname-du-jour for Trump. (ie: cheeto, TFG, TSF, Farty McFartface, Slobfather, etc)
Jimmy Kimmel has used these nicknames and puns as a source of great amusement... but when it comes to sharing information and having adult conversations with (presumably) other mature adults, these cute-sy nicknames do sound a bit childish or sophomoric and detract from the discussion and seriousness of the topics.
It's just a way for the "in-crowd" and the "cool-kids" to identify themselves as such with their secret-codes and in-jokes... leaving ordinary folks shaking our heads and rolling our eyes... wondering what good or useful purpose is served by these types of games.
Who has time?? It makes no sense to keep checking their Code Book, and Master Code Book, and Breeder's Guide (the whole set), or the Jockey Handbook. --- By the time the rest of us figure it out... the race will be over and Trump will be out of office.
Ugh!
