Can you think of some strange names of things in our government and others?

Filibuster
Boycott
Lame 🦆 duck

Here, you try. And if you know how they got their names, that would be interesting.

Squid pro comb. Or quid pro quo?

That just means, I'll do you a favour if you do me one.

[Wallythewalrus2]

@FunkyMonkee Yeah. What’s really funny, is no one ever heard the term until Trump and Ukrain, then over night everyone was a fucking expert on the subject. Lol

@FunkyMonkee
That's a good one. You nasty boy!

[FunkyMonkee]

@Jamie05rhs I tried spelling it that way, too and was told that was wrong, too so, I stuck with, "bant"

[FunkyMonkee]

Thanks but, but, but, why nasty?

[FunkyMonkee]

One that I hate because of the way they use it (wrongly) is, "Rhetoric'. They act like it just means anything you happen to be talking about. It actually means that you intend to ask something that you don't want or expect an answer to. Or you're just going to talk about something that you don't expect a response to.

[Jamie05rhs]

@FunkyMonkee Whoever told you that you were wrong was wrong themselves! LOL

[FunkyMonkee]

@Jamie05rhs The computers spell checker told me. I wasn't sure if it was a or e so, I went with a and it said I was wrong so, I switched it to e and it said THAT was wrong. I tried i and that was wrong so, I went back to a because that seemed the most logical. It still said that was wroong so I just said, "Fuck it!".

[Jamie05rhs]

@FunkyMonkee LOL
