Them fucking Paul supporters will go to the grave with their hero I swear.

smat·ter·ing (smtr-ng)
n.
1. Superficial or piecemeal knowledge: "a smattering of everything, and a knowledge of nothing" (Charles Dickens).
2. A small, scattered amount or number: a smattering of raindrops.

Both definitions would apply...
