Schlonged is not even a slang word.

Hillary didn't get "schlonged," as Trump said. That word doesn't even really exist in today's English. He made it up, based on a complete misunderstanding and a poor conversion of a Yiddish noun meaning "penis" into an English past tense conjugation of a verb.

Whenever I'm curious about a slang usage, I go to the Urban Dictionary site. "Shlonged" is listed there, but only with a paltry two definitions. That's amazing. If it were actually a word in use in today's English, it would have dozens of definitions. Here: See for yourself:

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=schlonged

Trump is a moron. He knows that "Schlong" means "Penis." Saying "Hillary got penised" would make no sense. Even less sense is made by trying to make a past tense verb out of a Yiddish noun. Trump is a Putz. Trump is a Shmuck. Those words also mean "penis."

That is all. Thanks for listening.

Hillary is well aware of this as well, which is why she didn't respond directly. Trump is just a vulgar piece of trash. Anyone who supports or defends him is as well.

penis. The official word for penis in Yiddish is penis just as it is in English. Trump is not using the proper terms but slang terms. One does not get 'penised' but one does get 'dicked' or 'dicked over'. In English, dick is a slag word for penis.

Editing to add that 'schmuck' more literally means 'jewelry', we say 'family jewels' in the same sense. Thought you might enjoy that.

we referred to people getting "dicked over", using it in a distinctly different sense from "fucked over". Being "dicked over" was considered more humiliating and personal. So, that is what I took Trump to be saying.

He reminds me of a small child who craves attention. He doesn't care if it's good attention or bad attention, as long as the attention is centered on him!

A bloviating cretin. Hillary and Chelsea have both been victims of the RWers. Remember Rush making fun of Chelsea as an adolescent. And in every way, both have admirably proved themselves to be true ladies...political stuff aside.

Many on the thread have already explained it perfectly.

Dicked over, Fucked over, all the same. He was going for creative points I guess and didn't want to get censored. Also, by saying schlonged it gets a ton of hits and people talking about it because it is unusual. That's exactly what he wanted.

Periodically my husband, who is no prude, is actually a bit shocked at some of the words that get bandied about in the "news" media. This is one of those "Trump said what?" moments.

http://www.yiddishslangdictionary.com/
Schlong, putz, and schmuck are all vulgar synonyms for penis. We have a lot of those in English, too.

Trump knew exactly what he was saying; he was using locker room talk. He was saying, in so many words, that this woman was not only a looozah, but that this white lady got effed by that black man.

Doesn't matter what part of speech the word actually is; Trump is a sexist and a racist and he knew what he was saying.

Since schlong is a cuter word for dick, adding the "ed" at the end means the same.
