Word of the Day

TURD BLOSSOM (tûrd blŏs'əm), n.
1. cowpie splat made by bovine waste when it hits the ground.
2. George Bush's nickname for his aide, Karl Rove, which is said to have originated by a bristling Dubya when Rove started getting accolades from political writers as the mastermind behind Bush.*
* from Boy Genius, by Carl M. Cannon

Dada says, "This is how we here, in Texas, nickname our best friends. 'Dude' and 'Bubba' are so passé, you 'Turd Head.' " (Ahm, don't take offense at that, it's intended as a term of closeness and respect in the 'Bushesian style.')
