Verb form of The Tarantino.
Alternate name the US Senate filibuster because it kills bills. On her self-named show on MSNBC, Rachel Maddow felt that the word filibuster puts people to sleep, and the issue of filibuster abuse was too important to have a sleepy electorate.

When they Tarantino a bill, you could also call it constitutional blockage because the filibuster is like an impacted colon in the body politic. The Senate needs a good cleanse of the obstructionist! Then, maybe things will get moving!

Get the Tarantinomug. M: You should see my tulips. I planted $60 of bulbs last fall.

M: They must smell them like pigs smell truffles.
J: Yeah, I’ll be darned if I spend money planting deer truffles.

Get the deer trufflesmug. An act of protest in the name of Gay Rights where a hater is showered with glitter. For best effect, rainbow colored glitter is used while loudly announcing “STOP THE HATE.”
Sam: Saw all these Con-serves posting comments about what a criminal Robert Erickson is for fairy-dusting Newt Gingrich and his wife.
Ella: The irony--sprinkling them with glitter on he same day the story broke about Newt Blingrich’s enormous bill at Tiffany's.
Sam: Oh, maybe that’s why Newt was smiling in the photo–he must have thought Erickson was a Tiffany Rep declaring him their millionth customer.

Get the smugnaciousmug. noun
The head hypocrite. A duggar not only rails against behaviour he gleefully does in private, but he leads the parade against said behaviour.
In Psychoanalysis there is a defense mechanism called reaction formation where a person behaves in an opposite way to his private behaviour, which is fueled by a repressed impulse. The duggar, however, is conscious of and delights in the forbidden private behaviour.
The orders of magnitude are thus: There is denial; reaction formation is denial on steroids; being a duggar is reaction formation on steroids.

Get the Duggarmug. Shorthand for a political-polly-parrot–that is a person who:
1. Espouses the same right-wing talking points on any media available.
2. Gets all of his or her opinions from right wing media–mostly television and radio.
Both types of triple-P’s repeat the same whole phrases.
For example, on health care every triple-P is crying:
“Don’t cram this bill down our throats.”
“We have to start over.”
“Reconciliation is a sleazy trick.”
“...Death panels...”
“...a plot to kill grandma ...”

The worst triple-P is Cheney’s whelp. But since his eye surgery, I can’t even yell at the TV screen, “Oh, not this cross-eyed bastard again!”
