Carpe Diem: 2018.01.13 Sheet Whole

by James A. Clapp

Oh, Yaaaah!, Oh, Yaaaah! People have to say it now, no matter how uncomfortable.  Broadcasters, and commentators, and even other politicians, and diplomats. How do you discuss it without invoking it? Are there apt euphemisms? Would a reference to certain countries being excremental, cloacal,  dens of defecation, septic tanks, or some other linguistic workaround, adequately convey the intent, the vulgarity, the inspiration of the intrinsic racism running in the background.  If you call a country a shithole, are you not, by extension, referring to their people as turds? Nope, to, get the full effect, ya gotta say it.

Shithole (is it properly two words or one word; does it matter). Consulting most dictionaries doesn’t help. They somehow have felt it unnecessary for vocabular inclusion, worthy of a place in the pages containing  shitaki mushrooms and Shiite.  If words had lexical ambitions, shithole would be happy and proud that somehow it would be launched from the exceedingly limited vocabulary of Donald Trump to such popularity that it might be ”word of the year.”

Shithole, shithole, shithole. It needs to be said. It needs to be chanted. It needs to be shouted. It needs to become the anthem of Trumpism.   We need to greet him in all public contexts with the resounding chorus of this word he has thrust into public discourse, and has smeared this sorry nation with his feculence.  Let us greet him in all occasions, in all places, in all circumstances with “shithole, shithole, SHITHOLE.”  Let it ring from sea to crappy sea. Let Trump hear it rolling back to him over the amber waves of   diarrhea splattered grain, flowing over majestic mountains of dung. Let him be reminded that, from that sphinctered face, our once proud nation has become an international  embarrassment and the laughing stock.  Let it be, when he asked the visiting Prime Minister of Norway why more Norwegians do not immigrate to America, that she might honestly answer aloud: “Why would any self-respecting Norwegian want to  immigrate to this SHITHOLE?”

“Why would any self-respecting Norwegian want to immigrate to this SHITHOLE?”

My sentiments exactly.

Ever since November 2016, nothing coming from this junior high school bully has surprised me.
However, what continues to depress me are the “a-holes”
(guess I’ve mellowed in my old age) who consistently support his juvenile perspectives. I’m just hoping (naively perhaps) that 2018 will see some serious changes in Congress, so that we can restrain this bully in permanent “detention”. Keep up the good work, Professor!

I think cloacal is a clever choice, being socially bland in mixed company, avoiding shouting matches and spikes in blood pressure. I hope to retain my sanity throughout each disastrous moment. I usually just shout IMBECIL about 50 times a day and know that the F-ing trump stalker from Indiana could be dangerously annoying after the Trump Dump. I save “shithole” for the pathetical batch of congressional lunatic losers. (but you have offered up a choice list for anger management purposes.)
