::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)

::No way we would coin it for ourselves. We're too smart for that. Everyone knows what teabagging means. If not, look it up on Urban Dictionary. [[User:Danq|danq]] 22:49, 27 August 2011 (EDT)

:::Why wouldn't it be accurate? The vast majority of tea party members had no idea that it was a term that would even need to be looked up. It's not about being dumb or smart or clean or vulgar, it's just that a whole lot of people who were in the movement didn't know what it meant. I didn't either, I never used the term because I felt that it was pretty lame to be throwing tea bags in the trash and only used loose leaf tea at my first tea party, but that is beside the point... --18:37, 1 September 2011 (EDT)
