I've seen several nicknames thrown around for Amy Coney Barrett:
Amy Covid Barrett
Amy Coathanger Barrett
Amy "Handmaid" Barrett
Has Soros decided yet what we're going to call her??
Seriously though, to me she's more like Serena Joy than she is like one of the handmaids. The handmaids and the Marthas actually become part of the resistance. Barrett is more like a Wife, or an Aunt, but I can't think of a clever play on words for any of those!
Aunt Coney Barrett?? Not catchy enough.
Come on, all of you creative types! Give us some ideas.

Yeah, I like that one too, but again, Barrett is more like the ones DOING the oppression than she is like the ones who are oppressed.

(96,043 posts)A coney is a rabbit, and she does seem to want things back to the old Playboy Bunny days for woman. She certainly was nominated as much for her looks as anything else.

(3,447 posts)I wish there were some clever way to tie her name into it.
I can't think of anything with either Serena Joy or Aunt Lydia.

(11,399 posts)I like it - it brings up the image of a sanctimonious Puritan biddy making sure everybody is outwardly keeping to the strict rules. Although she'll still be "Covid Amy" to me.

(15,276 posts)She may be a perfect cute little pet Bunny for her owners, but since she's no longer in her ivory tower job, she's going to chew on foundations and furniture of this country, destroying all the critical structres we've worked hard to make around us and everyone else. Don't leave the Constitution lying around, what she doesn't shred to make a nest for herself, she will pee and poop on.

(77,439 posts)Am ruminating about what to call her, am letting it fester. But as the great Jack BENNY said:
In the sketch where he was accosted by a mugger who said, "Your money or your life!!!!!!!1"
And Jack (the running joke being his miserliness), paused ponderingly. And the mugger said, "Come on, come on, your money or your life!1"
And Jack said, "I'm *thinking*, I'm *THINKING*!1"

And the adjective "notorious" better not be applied.

(10,777 posts)but that's probably too cute of a nickname for a person who is so likely to do so much harm to people's lives.
