What is the Ass-Clown-in-Chief good for ?
The renascence of many good old terms of abuse.
Just ran across "churlish": [Old English 'ceorl, a free man of the lowest rank" Related, I have to think, to the German 'scheisskerl'].
Well, he's free today, all right.
How about 'fatuous' 'imbecilic', 'asinine' ? Synonyms: boorish, vulgar, oafish, classless, uncouth, cloddish, others.
Sent me back to my 1978 Am Heritage 3-pounder because? Sites purporting to be "Cambridge Univ" and 'Merriam Webster" offer no etymologies !?
What kind of world is this now?
