There are some terms used in DU I don't understand

There are a few terms used used in Du that I don't know what they mean or, if they're an acronym, I don't know what they stand for, or I don't know were they came from:


"CTer"-someone who believes in the official story of 9/11
What does "CT" stand for?

"DINO"-a republican-lite
where did this come from? does it stand for something?

"Yellow dog\Red dog" democrat
What do these mean?

"repug"
Why the "pug"?

"Bunnypants"
Where did this * nickname come from?

CT= Conspiracy Theorist
DINO=Democrat In Name Only
Repug = Short for "repugnant"

As for the other two...???

Sounds to me like it's "coincidence theorist", a term some of us tinfoil hatters like throwing around :)

CTer -- Conspiracy Theorist - someone who DISbelieves the OCT and "invents" a CT to try to find a more plausible explanation.

OCTer -- Official Conspiracy Theorist - someone who believes what their gov/media tells them >> the OCT

!= -- not equal (sorry, computer geek talk)

what's the background of that one?

unwanted signals from the TV and/or alien motherships from penetrating the brain and thereby controlling the person. I first heard about this in the middle 70s.

:tinfoilhat:
dbt

thanks

The Anti-Conspiracy Theorist...they are frogs, and they are everywhere.

The class dunce', village idiots, voluntary blind, the shaking conformist, minds that don't stretch!

You know the Anti-Conspiracy Theorist ("ACT") -- Everything is as it seems and as we are shown and are told...Don't ask questions!

before i'd vote Repug.

Repug is for repugnant.

Yellow dog Democrat goes way back.

down his pants at Mission Accomplished.

a.k.a. Captain Codpiece.

"I'd vote for a mangy yellow dog before I would vote for a Republican."

Republican.

Joementum

When he was crashing in the polls, he tried to create a little wind by saying he had "Joementum". :eyes: It was as lame then as it sounds now.

referred to it as Joementum (Joe+momentum).

That and $1.25 will get you 3% of the vote in a neighboring state.

for republicans as they make me want to puke

Though I'm still not clear about bunny pants.

Childhood nickname -- once caught running around in half a bunny costume.

There's a good joke here, but I'm too tired to find it...

"conservative" Democrats ... you can count on them for some issues, but you can too often find them voting Republican; and, in a couple of cases, becoming Republicans: they were so Blue they became Republicans: e.g., Rep. Billy Tauzin and Rep. Jimmy Hayes of Louisiana

a yellow dog Democrat is a do or die Democrat ... a true blue Democrat ... ironically, a Blue Democrat is anything but true blue ...

What are “Blue Dog” Democrats? Are they any relation to “Yellow Dog” Democrats?

Bunnypants
Bush, George W.
(see also, Crusader Bunnypants)
"For the way he scurried off in the face of the 9-11 'threats'
on his life and AirForce 1."

CT
Coincidence Theory (Theorists)

Is blue dog the same as yellow dog?

What's BFEE?

BFEE is so much easier to type :)

it's all-encompassing description of what we're dealing with; everything collectively from the time they did business with the Nazis until present ... when you see BFEE ... it says it all

Bush family evil empire

I don't know about blue dog dems..I've heard of yellow dog dem but blue doesn't make a lot sense to me

Like Charlie Stenholm (until he got railroaded by DeLay), Baron Hill, Joe Turner.

Their website used to be http://baronhill.house.gov/bluedogs/ but it's gone.

You need to post an XXXX rating before you show this....we have some young ones here.

The photo of Bush trying to look mob cracks me up every time I see it!

If you added two of Bush's other photos where Bush was playing dress up, the Mission accomplished and the one where he is wearing the Nazi style jacket, I believe you would have a collection of the top 'Bush plays dress up' shots.

And he just meant it as funny imagery for Bush and his child-like stupidity.
