@alexburnsNYT @greenfield64 That epithets are used casually or incorrectly doesn’t change the origin of the insult

.@alexburnsNYT @joanwalsh imagine if @POTUS said derogatory comment about women - the outcry would be deafening. @GOP allows it with Trump.

@alexburnsNYT @greenfield64 Yes. Subtext was always that he got fucked by a penis. Many have been “jewed down” & didn’t aim it at a Jew

@alexburnsNYT @joanwalsh Different strokes for different folks.

@alexburnsNYT @joanwalsh Frank Sinatra sometimes used it in well known songs in his nightclub performances. Always brought the house down.

@alexburnsNYT @joanwalsh Don't forget Tip O'Neill and the Teflon schlong, Reagan.

@alexburnsNYT @joanwalsh It may be common usage in NY but it isn't in Colorado. If Trump was running for NY gov his word choices might fly

@alexburnsNYT @joanwalsh And one of the Harrisons on KY bball team called Frank Kaminsky from WI the n-word so anything goes now?

@alexburnsNYT @greenfield64 reference The Urban Dictionary for 3 definitions of 'schlonged.'

@alexburnsNYT @greenfield64 See I'm not from NY so maybe that's why I never heard it even though I worked in NYC for a time.
