Talk:Tea Party Movement (view source)
Revision as of 07:18, August 27, 2011
, 07:18, August 27, 2011→Origin of "teabaggers"
In case anyone's interested, in using the term "teabaggers" Obama was being EXTREMELY offensive and making slanderous implications of homosexuality. The terms "teabagging" and "teabagger" are British military slang and extremely crude. As this is a family-friendly encyclopaedia I won't go into details, but the teabag in question is a small sac on the male body that appears to be made of elbow skin. It's not just a derogatory play on words; it's a serious and pretty despicable insult. If someone called ME a teabagger I would be extremely upset. --[[User:JMairs|JMairs]] 18:49, 26 August 2011 (EDT)

:Unfortunately if you are not a crude person you do not know when you are being crude. The TEA party took that term as their own moniker initially, until those who knew what the slang meant began to explain our linguistic mistake. --[[User:DrDean|DrDean]] 19:04, 26 August 2011 (EDT)

::I don't think it's accurate to assume 'The TEA Party' took the name as 'their own' term. I knew it was a crude term from day one when MSNBC and CNN first started using it. [[User:DerekE|DerekE]] 03:18, 27 August 2011 (EDT)
