Talking "Tramp"

 RantWoman was recently in a conversation where the phrase "We don't talk like that" came up.

RantWoman had to demure: Quakers come from and live in many different strands of language and say all kinds of things. Plus, if we are trying to create brave space, we are pretty much guaranteed that individuals will probably get uncomfortable at least some of the time.

RantWoman's confession though: RantWoman is struggling to find ways to refer to The Former President without the ego gratification for him of saying his name. RantWoman realizes that this is probably grossly unfair to whatever of God can be found somewhere in the vicinity of his desperate attention-seeking and endlessly SAD outlook.

However, in Bad Friend mode, please assist RantWoman in discernment about which commonly used hashtags seem most Quakerly, by which one may mean either upfront Quaker plain speaking or most deeply reaching for that of God or otherwise blasphemous

EEK. RantWoman forgot one:

#DonTheCon

#TFG The Former Guy

#MangoMussolini

#SweetPotatoHitler

#OrangeJesus

#ApricotAntichrist

RantWoman was shamelessly using #OrangeJesus for awhile except that sometimes gets abbreviated OJ and RantWoman REALLY does not want to summon any legal outcome in any way similar to the trial of O J Simpson.

Forget hashtags though: one of RantWoman's most delicious linguistic devices has to do with the transliteration of the spelling in Russian of the former president's name: "Tramp." 

Need RantWoman say more? 

Yes actually! It's IMPORTANT when someone first offers the Russian speling and then speaks of a "savior."

Good Lord. Democracy is hard sometimes.
