Great. Now I'm addicted to Dan Savage's column archives. Thanks Mercy.

Oh yes; quite a bit of debate, c_b. I watched gleefully from the sidelines here in PA. :-)

You're right. You're all very very right. I hereby apologize unreservedly to all marmots and their loved ones, and pray they will forgive me for my inexcusable thoughtlessness.

I think yarb has it right. Insufferable assmarmot is excellent.

Ha! Mercy, thanks for posting that link! I had no idea the extensive debate that preceded the coinage. I like this paragraph best:

To simplify my life as a med student in taking sexual histories of patients, "santorum" could stand for discharge. Instead of having to ask people, "Any burning sensation during urination? Any penile/vaginal discharge or foul smell?" It would simply be, "Any burning sensation during urination? Any santorum?" That's much tidier. Plus, "santorum" sounds vaguely medical.

Leave My Name Out

Sionnach: I'm not sure what the HTML tag is for me to type the sound "Eeeeew!!!" accompanied by a big guffawing laugh!

I agree with Shevek. Why denigrate marmots?

Another name for santorum could be assmarmite.

Coined in 2003 by Dan Savage in "honor" of the former Senator.

I'm not really familiar with the man, but would you say, cb, that he's an insufferable assmarmot?

c_b, I think you're being a bit unfair to marmots there.

You must not know Rick Santorum, then. He's always irritated the bejesus out of me, the bigoted marmot.

Froth and nonsense, methinks. I can't even be bothered to list it under Yuck!

It's the word "frothy" that gives this term its ew-factor, I think.
