Can we have an alternative to the TFG initialism?

Since everyone knows what it means.

May I suggest a new acronym/initialism?

SPOS

Steaming Pile Of Sh*t.

Let's use that for a while

Thanks to Cuthbert Allgood for pointing out TFG is not actually an acronym!

[Sherman A1]

1. I'm okay with TFG because most folks seem to know what it means

beyond that I prefer to avoid thinking about him and his minions.

[gab13by13]

2. Don't really need an acronym,

the name Trump will be synonymous with pile of sh*t or mob boss, or grifter.

[lastlib]

25. I use "trump" to describe what falls in the toilet.....

...when I "dump a trump". (synonymous for "turd&quot

[shelshaw]

3. DOOF

Dumbass
Orange
Orangutan
F*ckhead

[randr]

4. The American SS

Just a shit stain on America's reputation

[brooklynite]

5. I'm going to use "Trump"....because that's his name.

Never understood the satisfaction of name-calling.

[Thomas Hurt]

8. Using his name is polite and shows respect.

[Dial H For Hero]

23. If one refers to Hitler by his name, is that showing respect and being polite?

Obviously not, and it’s no different with Trump. Consistently using acronyms and junior high level insults to speak of him is simply self congratulatory secret speak to let others know you’re one of the Cool Kids.

[Whiskeytide]

20. While I'm ok with name calling generally, I use ...

… the Russian looking Тяцмp just to always remind others of the collusion.

[Thomas Hurt]

6. OTTI - One Term, Twice Impeached.

[Tommy Carcetti]

7. I just call him the Former Office Occupant. nt

[Diamond_Dog]

13. Former Office Occupant Loser

or

FOOL

[FSogol]

9. POS45

[WHITT]

10. Aligning With Current Trends...

The O.G.

No, not THAT O.G.

The Orange Goblin.

[bucolic_frolic]

11. Which would lead to the SPOS's SPAC

You may have hit on something!

[Magoo48]

12. How about no name at all?

[Sanity Claws]

14. I like TFG

It can mean the former guy or that fucking guy.

[MissMillie]

15. I was just going to suggest a nickname

rather than an acronym


THE MONSTER


using all caps to distinguish from all the other GQP monsters.

[jcgoldie]

16. It was Biden's very effective way of avoiding giving the asshole the spotlight

Trump is like a dog who only listens for his name. As long as its all about him he completely drowns out whether the coverage is good or bad. "The former guy"... nameless faceless, barely worth recognition like something stuck to your shoe were it not for all of his criminal behavior.

[rso]

17. TFG

Don the Con

[doc03]

18. I like "The Loser"

[onecaliberal]

19. Bloated orange tic.

[librechik]

21. I heard someone on air say "EX President." Me like. Simple. truthful

Brutal.

[jimfields33]

22. How about not discussing him ever.

Why he gets more threads the our great president is a mystery.

[lastlib]

24. Well, I SPOS we could at least try it.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

26. Doesn't bother me either way, but, since it bugs me, I'll point out that's not an acronym.

To be an acronym, it needs to be pronounced as a word. Like NASA.

[RainCaster]

28. No it doesn't - USB (for example) is still an acronym

But I still like and use the term DFT. Ya'll know what that stands for.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

29. It absolutely does. USB is an initialism. As DFT is.

Acronym is a word with a meaning. You can look it up. I realize a lot of people use that word incorrectly, but and acronym is pronounced as a word.

[Pobeka]

31. Thanks for that. I had adopted the term acronym for any sequences of initials.

But as you point out, it is an inappropriate use of the term acronym.

[2naSalit]

27. I could go to using:

Loser45

-45

POS45

Or a couple others mentioned above.
