(15,318 posts)4. Seconded. It just reminds me of that awful scene from American History X.
I actually like the word Obama used in 2010 - "shellacking".
I didn't really understand the term until Tony Soprano demonstrated the technique.

(8,170 posts)9. If an old codger like me can suggest
"Pwned" or possibly "Teabagged"

They have the President at a 50-50 chance of winning. While I don't fully trust either one of them, I put absolutely no stock in anything the talking heads say.
