45. Gosh, that 'uppity' word is getting a lot of traction
Edited on Thu Apr-06-06 12:49 PM by Jose Diablo
makes a good meme, the word 'uppity'. Lots of visual images come with the word and also it places the object to which it is applied in judgement. Of course, if the object in question is a woman, so much the better. It'll piss the republican women off when the realize thats how their republican men think of them.

If I had to score the word on the meme effectiveness scale of 1-10, I'd say it's about a 9.

The word also applies judgement to the one using it, all the better. Let's run with it in applying it to the Republican side of language usage. It'll be a full-on broadside against the Republican Party. And it should help separate these guys from their women.
