New Code Word to Describe Kamala from Fox News

[macwriter]

Just heard the Fox News "All Stars" refer to Kamala as "smug."

I guess the word went out in MAGA world that calling her "uppity" is a little too on the nose in terms of delivering a racist message while they are pretending not to be racist or anti woman.

We see through it, guys.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. Oh YES, we sure do see through it! We are smarter than you have any idea. BLEAH. nt

[madaboutharry]

2. They literally looked the word "uppity" up in a Thesaurus.

“Smug” is one of the word alternatives for “uppity” in the Merriam-Webster Thesaurus.

Republicans are so ridiculous.

[Greybnk48]

9. Yes. Like no one will figure that out.

They are absurdly ridiculous.

[PeaceWave]

12. Meaning we'll also hear "bossy," "conceited," "pompous," "stuck up" and "high and mighty."

[Rincewind]

23. You forgot their favorite to call

powerful women, "shrill".

[NJCher]

3. I'm a word person and

I don't see anything "smug" about Kamala. If there was, I wouldn't mind admitting it.

But remember--republicans have trouble with words. They like to take good words and give them a bad connotation. My favorite example of this is when they were torturing people and calling the practice "robust" and "enhanced" interrogation.

Then when they are through with the word, they cast it aside and move on to another.

[Hugin]

7. If anyone is "smug", it's the dotard. n/t

[k55f5r]

The "Clean Air Act" and "No Child Left Behind" for examples.

[unblock]

4. lol have they met the Republican nominee?

[emulatorloo]

27. Or the Republican VP nominee?

[unblock]

40. Hell, practically the entire Republican Party!

5. On social media, one of the slur words is cackle. Or as it's often spelled there, cackle.

I'm trying to take a page from the Swifties and KHIVE to counter that with the delight I feel when she smiles and laughs, every time I see it trending on the feeds of the MAGAs with many followers, doing a joy bomb rather than arguing. Not gonna waste my time with their s*%$ but insert some counter perspective when I can. But I don't amplify the little accounts. The big ones are already amped.

[Skittles]

6. haha they are getting desperate

they're gonna support DONALD FUCKING TRUMP while describing ANYONE else as SMUG?

[Hugin]

8. +1 n/t

[Charmin One]

14. +2

A MAGA calling someone smug. Wow. Just wow.

[bluesbassman]

10. JHFC! Have they never seen the convicted felon on stage?

With that stupid ass tight lipped grin mugging for the cameras? Now that, you sniveling Faux lickspittles, is the face of smug.

[B.See]

17. Well, there's a difference, you see. He "knows his place" whereas

she (apparently) doesn't.

[Skittles]

19. right?

[PedroXimenez]

22. i wasn't sure what smug meant so i looked it up in the dictionary

all they had was that picture

[claudette]

[Clouds Passing]

[King_Klonopin]

15. On the nose? Or on the noose? n/t

[calimary]

16. "Smug"? That's the best they can do?

THAT’S all they’ve got?

Sheesh…

[B.See]

18. "Uppity"...

Reminds me of a job I applied for some forty plus years ago, after I aced everything they threw at me, only to have them give me some bs, "you're overqualified for the job" shtick.

ahh the memories.

[dchill]

20. That's projectile projection.

[orleans]

21. smug? no. personable? oh yeah nt

[TBF]

24. Not surprising - they not only want a woman to "know their place" -

but they also love to pit people against each other. "Look at her - she thinks she is better than you. You don't want her telling you what to do". Meanwhile, in the background they are putting the finishing touches on "Project 2025" which will make changes to society that none of them are prepared for because they aren't going to begin to read a 900-page pdf. It will be too late when their Social Security, Medicare, Veteran's Benefits, etc are gone - not to mention all the agencies they want to do away with (public education, product safety, the list goes on and on ...).

[Attilatheblond]

25. "smug" is the FOX attempt at a politically correct "Uppity"

They really are pretty pathetic at trying to camouflage their racist tendencies.

[Irish_Dem]

26. Confident women are called arrogant or smug.

[Emile]

28. If Kamala is smug, wtf is Trump?

[PCIntern]

29. Code word for Orangina: vomity

[claudette]

30. With her remarkable

contagious laugh, how can anyone call Kamala "smug?" As others have said, "uppity" is the word they replaced because of her color.

[Bluesaph]

32. Of course they are! 😾

I knew this was coming!

The new “uppity” negro code word is “smug”!

How dare an educated black woman conceive of talking with confidence!

I believe this is why some people don’t like her. They couldn’t quite put their finger on why. It’s a trigger. Deep down inside it bothers people that she is so confident and direct.

Only white men can be direct!

This used to happen to me at work. I know the feeling.

This is why Michelle Obama is liked and Kamala isn’t. Michelle didn’t dare run for any office. And she used to say when they go low we go high. She started a garden for the White House kitchen. She did “women’s work”. She didn’t dare be “smug”!

This is what they also did to Hillary when she was First Lady. How dare she try and come up with policy for health care!

“Smug”

We all need to show them

SMUG!🖕🏽

[rubbersole]

33. Wait til November 6th and it'll be uppity your ass.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

34. As Pee Wee said to the neighborhood bully, Francis...

"I know you are, but what am I?"

It applies to HIM.

[Sky Jewels]

43. Aww, I love Pee-wee.

RIP Paul.

[robbob]

35. That's ok, our side is putting out a new word to describe tRump

“Strange”.

Kamala used it, Pete used it on Faux News. “Strange old man” works too, or, you know, “just asking a question here”; why is Trump behaving so strangely?

I think it could stick. Every time he starts toasting “the late great Hannibal Lector” or talking about sharks people will stop making excuses and start wondering, why IS he so strange?

[yardwork]

42. Weird is good, too. Vance and Trump are weird.

[robbob]

45. I confess, I may have gotten it wrong...

I’m seeing a lot of “weird” references to tRump and mini-tRump. Either works for me…

[CrispyQ]

36. She doesn't come across as smug at all.

Lindsey Graham is smug. Jim Jordan is smug.

I notice cackle is also not being used. Every time I hear them diss Harris cuz of her laugh, I also hear this:

And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter
🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Does anybody remember laughter?

[Emile]

37. Better smug than being called a sick fuck.

[agingdem]

39. Oh no not "smug"!!!!

Kamala, a prosecutor, California Attorney General, US Senator/Vice President of the United States and is the likely Democratic nominee for President of the United States is smug...I would fucking hope so!

[yardwork]

41. Typical sexism and racism.

How dare she act like the capable, intelligent, well educated woman she is!

[struggle4progress]

47. Things Nobody Does Better Than Trump
