1. The inane, quarter-witted, puerile and illiterate speech of Dubya, aka Bush II, which one could call stupid if that weren't an insult to stupid people. This invariably causes flinching, groaning, cursing, and the destruction of remote control devices and even TV sets by poor slobs caught unaware by random broadcasts. 2. Any such speech by others, esp. politicians.
The Dubyadayada from the press conference made me throw my lava lamp through the TV screen and scream "aarrrgh"!
