Sailor's mouth
Is Trudeau's coining of "Fuddle Duddle" notable? Barikada 20:41, 23 January 2008 (EST)
- Ha ha :D but didn't the stenographer actually coin the phrase? I'm not persuaded that it's really notable. That's my opinion, maybe the N American editors think differently? 10px Fox (talk|contribs) 20:46, 23 January 2008 (EST)
- No... he was accused of mouthing profanity while someone else was speaking. When asked about it (And then badgered for a bit and asked about the "nature of [his] thoughts") he responded with "What is the nature of your thoughts, gentlemen, when you say “fuddle duddle” or something like that? God, you guys…!"
- Personally, I'd say it should probably qualify as just a little piece of trivia, not it's own page or something. Barikada 20:51, 23 January 2008 (EST)
