Hornswaggle is an alternate spelling of hornswoggle, an archaic word that means to bamboozle or hoodwink. I take my pronunciation from the late Harvey Korman in "Blazing Saddles" -- "I want rustlers, cutthroats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, conmen, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswagglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass kickers, shit kickers and Methodists!" |

Tuesday, May 25, 2004Someone's going to get a spankingPrince Turki al-Faisal, the Saudi ambassador to Britain and Ireland, tells the British press that the war in Iraq is "colonial" in nature and all about the O-I-L. Someone (who knows a little something about oil) has pulled back the curtain and is due for a paddling. "Talking out of turn ... that's a paddling. Looking out the window ... that's a paddling. Staring at my sandals ... that's a paddling. Giving the American public an honest glimpse into U.S. foreign policy ... ooh, you better believe that's a paddling." .: posted by hornswaggler 9:52 PM| |
