      Yeah, I don't get why this isn't more of a part of the conversation. Also, these lies were almost daringly cynical—hard to categorically disprove (*prove* to me that Kavanaugh & buddies didn't have their own non-canonical definition of "boofing") but just not at all plausible.https://twitter.com/nickconfessore/status/1045668458950791168 …

      Keep going back this morning to Kavanaugh lying to the committee about “Ralphing” and other yearbook items. With a straight face. Spicy food? Come on.

      We all know what they mean now, but what did they mean in 1982? Slang changes and evolves rapidly.

      Replying to @Me_Atari1974 @NateSilver538

      Not that much. I was a teenager in the eighties. Boofing is buttfucking. Ralphing is puking and if a teenager is doing it it's because he was drinking. Any denial of this is disingenuous and an insult to America's collective (remaining) intelligence.

      Yup. We used to joke about being visited by "Ralph" when someone barfed because he was so drunk and used "bufu" and "booting" interchangeably as slang for anal sex.

          Thank you. Atari there had me so gaslit I hardly recognized language anymore. (not actually true, but thanks)

          Ralph means barfing. Two of us 5-6 years older who went to college in Texas had not heard of boofing, but rather doubt it means "fart". I blocked Me_Atari1974 as a time-wasting legitimacy-sucking troll; and to defend such a dangerous liar, also evil.

          " ralph" for puking comes from Cheech & Chong's movies. Cop pulls them over, what is your name? He vomits at the same time he say "ralph".

          In my day, "booting" was only "throwing up" out of sheer boredom while waiting for my primitive computer to start up.

          Bufu has been slang for anal sex since I was in high school. That was 36years ago. Some things never change.

          "Ralph"=vomit, "Boot"=vomit, "Bufu"=anal intercourse, "Boff"= plain intercourse. In my collegiate crowd-I'm roughly #kavanuhgh's age

          Duke does fit the narrative. I bet a few of his classmates went there.
