Joho the Blog: Terms we need to re-own
Democrat (adj.). Listen, schmucks, the adjectival form of "Democrat" is "Democratic," as in "the Democratic representative from Colorado." It is not "Democrat," even though the Republicans prefer that you use that term so, God forbid, you don't give anyone the impression that Democrats favor democracy. Either get this right or let's start talking about the "Republic representative from Louisiana."
Hear, hear. This stoopit usage has always annoyed the living crap out of me. Not to mention the fact that people sound like utter morons when they say it.
