I understand that the word "teabagger"
has some sexual connotation. I haven't had a chance to look it up, but that's okay--I think we need to keep calling the loonies and whackadoodles "trabaggers" rather than allude to the real, historic Boston Tea Party. As a Bostonian, I really cannot stress too much how that galls me otherwise.

If we can refer to them with another word entirely, that would be fine, too. But "teabaggers" might be still the best term for those louts.

1. They started it.


It wasn't until they caught us laughing at them that they looked up the term.

(oh, and really? you're just now figuring that out?)

6. To be perfectly honest, I've never understood what's so funny about teabags, either.

7. Oh my god, is that funny. I only googled it when they started
to get offended and I didn't know why. But you gotta ask, how did all those old farts and good Christians know what the term meant?

Now that I know what it means, it's slightly embarassing! (Embarassing that my love life really needs some sort of a boost!)

9. There is one parallel. The original Tea Party participants dressed up as
Native Americans, trying to throw responsibility off on others.

That fits.

10. Just found a good definition someone put on the Urban Dictionary site!
An adult act performed by consenting republican/conservatives on each other to express their fake outrage to imaginary tax increases (most of these idiots actually just got a tax break)

During this act one republican/conservative nut job (pun intended) drops his pants in public and slowly lowers his scrotum into the eager mouth of another right wing nut lover.

Some basic Teabagging participation rules

1: Participants have to be very low income (preferably on welfare)
2: Participants have to be avid Fox News watchers (this makes certain the participants are brainwashed to the extent of being borderline retarded)
3: Participants have to be republican/conservative
On 04/15/09 (Tax Day) broke ass republicans throughout the country gathered in public and performed mass teabagging on each other for hours while complaining about some imaginary tax increases
