ORIGINAL: FirmhandKY Yanno, I think the term "Teabagger" and "TEA partier" is pretty handy for a lot of discussions for the left, and it just occurred to me that "us on the right" needed a similar short-hand term to describe a number of our political adversaries as well. Then, it came to me ... "Fleabaggers" .... Here is the Wikipedia definition of a Flea: Fleas are external parasites, living by hematophagy off the blood of mammals (including bats and humans) and birds. I think this is a good counter to the lefties "Teabaggers", and there is a fair amount of room for an expansion of "fleabagger's" meaning and nuances. The link above takes you to a more detailed article on fleas, and I think there is plenty of material to relate it to a certain species of leftist politicians, don't you? What about it, "righties"? You think it's a useful term?  Firm In the spirit of the 'fun' factor in the thread, honestly, I would have to say that it's the right who are the bloodsuckers, sucking the wealth out of the middle class and lining their own pockets. The left, yeah.. I guess, somewhat but for the more social cause of helping the other fleas. Not sure who the dog would be there, though. Nope, I would say that The left.. definitely are Crypts.. short for cryptorchidism.. paraphrased as "the lack of balls". (It's close enough and I'm going for the funny here so cut me some slack on the actual def!) We can have true gang warfare here with the Bloods and the Crypts. It'll be just like I'm back in LA.
