Dan Savage wants to make the name Duggar synonymous with hypocrisy and child molestation – just as he helped make Santorum a descriptive noun for a byproduct of gay sex.

“Clearly ‘duggary’ needs to be a word,” Savage posted Tuesday on Twitter.

He turned to his readers and social media followers for help defining the new word – based on the surname of the “19 Kids and Counting” reality show family embroiled in a child sex abuse scandal involving their eldest son, who resigned from his job with the anti-LGBT Family Research Council after it was revealed that he molested his sisters as a teenager.

“Should it mean sexual hypocrisy? Fundy hypocrisy? Child molestation?” Savage asked, using the hashtag #duggary to help promote his idea.

Awesome.

1. Getting away with something

[geardaddy]

2. I hate to think how it changes the word

Skulduggery

[calimary]

9. Giving head to the kid you're molesting?

...sorry...

[Xyzse]

11. That's Skullduggary I think...

Eew.

[Raster]

15. SNAP!

[cadaverdog]

16. Hilarious! (No message)

[calimary]

33. Of course! Just make sure it's spelled accurately.

I give that an "A" ! Skullduggary!

I was gonna put one of those ROFL smilies on there, but this really isn't a laughing matter at all. When I think of those "duggar'd" little girls...



Seems only fair that this twisted family wear this new label around their necks FOREVER. THIS is the modern-day "Scarlet Letter." Fittingly, including the key letter "a".

[Xyzse]

36. Agreed. I just think they're disgusting.

[BrotherIvan]

21. Jinx, you read my mind.

Skullduggary is it.

[stage left]

3. Getting away with things

in private that you condemn in public.

[FSogol]

4. Luckovich already coined a definition for Dugger:

[geardaddy]

5. Great toon.

Good definition

[FSogol]

6. Agreed. n/t

[Nevernose]

24. Best definition yet.

[Doctor_J]

7. Urban dictionary has a number of entries already

Most regarding excessive breeding though - couldn't find one for molesting ones siblings.

[libdem4life]

8. It applies first to Jim Bob. Josh is the victim, turned abuser. Jim Bob escapes to

yet another day. Also, what does this do/say to the daughters who are already traumatized...first, by abuse, then by forced silence, now by global internet news and cartoon depictions. And ALL of them,but Josh, are still held as prisoners.

10. Duggary: The art of demeaning other's sexuality while you get away with horrifying sex crimes.

12. Here's a winner:

[og1]

13. It shall be Pedo-duggary

[irisblue]

14. I'm good with this

[cab67]

17. And those who commit an act of duggary...

...would be called duggards.

[geardaddy]

29. Nice.

Good call.

[maindawg]

18. I love the cartoon

But I think the crime was committed by the father, an adult who covered up the crime.
So maybe Duggering is covering up a sex crime, while using religion to condemn anyone who is not a freaky cult companion like you.

[Clayguy61]

43. Crime

The crime was committed by father and mother and police officer who talked to family. Would like girls to talk but from readings about their religion and lifestyles, the men are in charge and women subservient, so the women are used to and expect this behavior. This family is in or part of cult and these quiverfull families are a big problem.

[jaxind]

19. How about this??

I think next time any evangelical christian stands up on his high horse and passes judgement on something, and then is found guilty of that same action, people should say "he just pulled a duggar!"

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

20. Good one Savage

[NuclearDem]

22. Any sort of family values hypocrisy.

A Christian pastor who rails against gay people then gets caught with a male prostitute is to be engaging in duggary.

The appropriate response is then to tell this person to duggar off--to completely, unceremoniously disappear from the public eye forever.

[niyad]

25. I thought that was haggardy?

[NuclearDem]

28. I like duggary.

Works just like bugger and buggery.

[niyad]

32. that is true. however, haggard the hypocrite is a local pos, so I have no

problem using his name in such a context.

[erronis]

35. I wish I were a poet, and ask any wordsmiths to take a poke at this

Something along the lines of:

Diggery, Duggary do.
What fun I have for you!
Our family is sworn
To let our youths forn
But not to be shown on YouTube.

OK, not worth the postage. Sorry.

[niyad]

38. no need to apologize. the subject matter is not worth your time.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

45. well I think it's pretty good.

[ck4829]

23. Hypocrisy taken up to 11, statements and actions are as extreme as day and night

"The boss wants to work everyone to the bone, but he was just caught sleeping on the job. He's totally duggary."

[mythology]

26. I think this situation is a little different than with Santorum

Santorum being an awful human being reflects on him and he didn't direct his hatred toward his own children (unless one of them is gay and hasn't come out yet).

But the crimes committed by the Duggar family were largely committed against their own daughters who share the same last name. So making the name synonymous with the crime, effectively marks the daughters as well.

[Susan.Garvin]

46. Unless you count emotional abuse

Santorum brought a dead fetus home and made his kids pass their potential sibling around. I am waiting for the right wing reaction when his wife's past is used by his RNC rivals. Before they married, she was in a live in relationship with the doctor who delivered her. That's odd enough, but the kicker is that the doctor was the patron saint of abortion rights in Pittsburgh. He pioneered hospital panels before Roe, and he was a founder of the city's first clinic. He practiced there until his death, and he saved my friend's life by diagnosing her Hodgkin's disease when she came in for a procedure. Pittsburgh is full of women whose lives he improved if not saved. By all reports, she initiated the relationship. Since he has passed, I won't criticize him. I bet other RNC candidates will point out Old Frothy has an unusual family. (When he was a senator, he violated local law by claiming his rather large family lived in a 2 bedroom house. Of course, they didn't actually live there, but he had campaigned claiming his opponent didn't really live in PA.)

Besides, does anybody truly want a president that they wouldn't want their kids to Google?

[MADem]

27. SANTORUM RISING!!!!!!!!

Hey, the frothy litle shit just declared his candidacy....

[MineralMan]

30. IOKIYAAD!

It's OK if you are a Duggar. That seems to be how they feel. Incestuous sexual molestation? IOKIYAAD. Gawd has already forgiven Josh, you see. In fact, he was forgiven before he molested the second sister. Gawd sez: "Hey, he's just a 14 year old boy. You know how they are."

IOKIYAAD!

[geardaddy]

31. That's another good one.

I'm stealing that.

[The Wizard]

34. Pedophile Incestors (NT)

[d_legendary1]

37. If Josh Duggar went to prison for his crimes then Duggary

would take on a whole new meaning.

[left-of-center2012]

39. Whe just saying 'sorry' doesn't count

Lock the guy up in general population and he'll get all the sex he can handle.

[Vinca]

40. It's sad the only justice in this case might be a new, repulsive word.

[KitSileya]

41. Because who cares if 80% of his known victims are also called Duggar

Who cares about other people called Duggar and Santorum if we can throw them aside and trample them in our eagerness to put down someone we don't like. Of course Duggar's victims should have to see their name used as a reminder of what happened to them. Of course people named Santorum, especially children, should find Savage's definition when they google their own name.

I find it despicable.

[geardaddy]

42. I take your point.

Thank you.

[marble falls]

48. Having had a trifecta name - bad first, last and first and last name together, I think they will...

get over it.

How is "duggary" worse than being associated with "Duggar"?

[chapdrum]

44. Generally agree w/Dan

but really (and no love for Santorum and the other "candidates&quot , this aspect of his public persona is over the top.

[marble falls]

47. Duggary - any action that produces santorum.
