Slight problem with calling the bad guys "Daesh"

[KamaAina]

as SoS Kerry and others are doing so as to emphasize that they are not Islamic.

Thing is, downtown San Jose, and possibly other cities as well, is filled with buses like these:



DASH: Downtown Area Shuttle. What is a boy to do?

[eShirl]

1. Then how about "daeshbags?"

[KamaAina]

2. Good one!

[Aerows]

6. It consistently amazes me how

wonderfully witty many of our fellow DUers are .

Daeshbags - that's a keeper!

[Hortensis]

13. I agree. Islamic State is far too pretentious for daeshbags.

[Aerows]

15. And they are

Daeshbags!

[72DejaVu]

16. I also don't think

we ought to elevate them to the status of a "state", even rhetorically.

[Aerows]

5. And eShirl coins the term I will be using from now on!!!

daeshbags it is!

[merrily]

12. LOL!

(Hi, Aerows).

[Aerows]

14. Hello, one of my favorite DUers :)

This tragedy is so awful. I'm trying to smile to stay positive because it is just so damned horrific.

[merrily]

18. Right back at you, baby girl. Yes, it's frightening. Isil, of course, but more what the reaction

from the West will be.

[Aerows]

20. Messy won't even cover it.

I feel no sorrow for the deashbags, but I do for those who will be collateral damage.

[Matariki]

21. +1. You nailed it!

from here on out, let them be known as 'deashbags'.

[Lizzie Poppet]

23. That right there is perfect, that is.

[emulatorloo]

25. PERFECT!!!!!

[backscatter712]

30. Since Daesh rhymes with ja-hish, which IIRC means donkey or ass in Arabic...

Call them "daesh-holes".

[randys1]

3. And right on time

What does Daesh mean? ISIS 'threatens to cut out the tongues' of anyone using this word

[Shandris]

4. Oh, we're using The Big Lie strategy?

I guess I didn't get the memo. Got it.

"Alright everyone, Islam is peaceful! Also, the KKK is not Christian, the Tea Party is not conservative (nor are Republicans), and the Police Officer is the most peaceful group organized on the planet."

There we go, I'm on board now!

[MADem]

7. DASH (rhymes with ASH, CASH, STASH) does not sound anything

like Daesh. POTUS pronounces it wrong--it's one of the few times he doesn't quite get it right. Of course, that's a double-insult, really, like he's saying "I don't even think enough of you to insult you with the proper pronunciation or accent!"

It's closer to 'duh - ish' than DASSSH, really.

[Zen Democrat]

22. I heard a Frenchwoman pronounce it "day-eesh" - I like it. Especially since the terrorists don't.

[merrily]

8. Pronounce each of "Dash" and "Daesh" correctly?

[KamaAina]

9. Just a wee bit too close for comfort.

And this whole thread is basically tongue-in-cheek.

[merrily]

11. As was my post.

[Archae]

10. Don't forget Rainbow Dash.

[Nye Bevan]

17. OK, I can see that poor pony joining Tinky Winky as a new target of RW hatred (nt)

[hedgehog]

19. My daughter says call them Isil or Isis just to piss them off.

[HuckleB]

24. Supporters Of Houston's NWSL Team Have Not Become Engraged, Yet, Anyway.

26. Are you freakin' serious?

We're screwed. Words that are spelled differently sound the same. We're freakin' doomed. Daes..., oops, the Islamic State...has our number. Holy crap.

[KamaAina]

27. No, not really.

[Shrike47]

28. Maybe just call them however you say 'pig shit' in Arabic?

[KamaAina]

29. Works for me.

Especially since pigs are unclean to them.

[EL34x4]

31. Those of us of a certain age remember a much different ISIS is well.
