As any sportsball fan will tell you, if you can't handle the boos, don't come to Philly. The Day 1 speakers at the DNC handled the boos admirably, mostly by orating right over them. Elijah Cummings faced down chants of "No TPP!" which inspired thisexquisite conniption
This would annoy me. Bill should have to do the boring househusband things First Ladies have been rolling their eyes at since 1776. He doesn't get to have a cool job just because he's First Gentleman. WHERE ARE THE COOKIES, BILL?
The origins of the phrase "go commando" are uncertain, with some speculating that it may refer to being "out in the open" or "ready for action".[5]
Slate magazine's Daniel Engber dates the modern usage to United States college campuses circa 1974, where it was perhaps associated with soldiers in the Vietnam War, who were reputed to go without underwear to "increase ventilation and reduce moisture".[6] However, more recently, Graeme Donald has pointed out that the US Forces refer to "Rangers" rather than "Commandos", and that in any case, the phrase was in use in the UK, referring mainly to women, from the late 1960s.[1] The connection to the UK and women has been suggested to link to a World War II euphemism for prostitutes working in London's West End, who were termed "Piccadilly Commandos".[7][8]
The term appeared in the 1982 novel Groundrush by Greg Barron, in the sentence, "Bigfoot's jock snapped underneath, leaving him to 'go commando."[9] In the January 22, 1985, Chicago Tribune, Jim Spencer wrote, "Furthermore, coloured briefs are 'sleazy' and going without underwear ('going commando,' as they say on campus) is simply gross."[vague] The term gained currency in the popular vernacular after appearing in a 1996 episode of Friends.[10][11]
I think the Friends episode was the one when Joey put on all of Chandlers clothes during an argument :) yes, too many fucking re-runs in the background!
I've been listening to the DNC live feed today cause I missed the broadcast last night... and the booing seems to be much less noticeable. I think maybe the networks strategically placed mics to push the 'Dems in disarray' meme. So far it's only been louder than the enthusiastic Hillary delegates (unpossible, I know!) during Cummings speech. I'm expecting the media will get bored with this and will pivot to being shocked by BJs and the Clenis tonight.
"FGOTUS" just doesn't roll of the tongue well. Maybe we should shorten it to "goat" which he can then brag has the bonus double meaning, greatest of all time.
I've been using the term Bros, with no Bernie attatched. Because honestly, most Bernie supporters are good people, who I agree with. Hell, Bernie doesn't want anything to do with the Bros. The Bros (who don't have to be male, btw), just want to tear shit up. Screw 'em. With votes.
HAHA! Huey P. Newton and the News - good one!

Is that the Slovenian pronounciation for "schlong"?

I think they do, but I've never been. I have, however, been to Bears jail in Soldier Field. *struts*
