Roger Waters Insults Donald Trump With Scottish Slang for Scrotum: "Trump Is A Bawbag"




Roger Waters gave his concert at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow on June 30 a little bit of a local flavor while insulting President Donald Trump.

At one point, the words "Trump is a bawbag" were projected across the length of the stage. "Bawbag" is a Scottish slang word for "scrotum" ("ballbag," as filtered through a Scottish accent).

A photo was tweeted out by an attendee, who noted that "the noise nearly brought the roof down." It was picked up by the Irish Post, which noted that "bawbag" found its way onto several signs during an anti-Trump protest in Scotland, where profanity directed at the president has been famously creative. Actor Richard Schiff, who played Toby Ziegler on The West Wing, picked up on the term and created a "#PresidentBawbag" hashtag on Twitter.
