paskudnyak

Yiddish insult. THE most potent and offensive insult known to man. it has so much connotation that cannot be truly defined that the closest you can come to its meaning is "horrible person". no other definition has the meaning, and there is no way to convey how powerful that word is. Use with caution.

Hitler was a prime example of a paskudnyak. You'd be hard pressed to come up with others.

George W Bush

Republican President 2000-2004, ex-governor of Texas, son of President George H W Bush, brother of Governor Jeb Bush of Florida. Graduated from Yale, and was a member of the Texas Air National Guard during the Vietnam War. Center of much controversy, beginning with his military record, then suspicious mishandled counts that won him the election by only 500 votes in his brother's state, then with his extended vacations prior to 9-11, his response to 9-11 and the ensuing War in Iraq, and finally alleged connections with the 527 group SwiftBoat Veterans for Truth, an ANti-Kerry agency. also the butt of many jokes because of his difficulty with speaking. Instated the No Child Left Behind policy, as well as the controversial Patriot Act, and is well known for his tax cuts and support of the proposed gay marriage ammendment.

now this isn't a bush-hating def. its a list of controversial topics surrounding his presidency. Tried to be as impartial as I could.

Bill Clinton

Incredibly able president who reduced the national debt to the lowest point in decades who was attacked and nearly impeached for something that over half of all presidents did and no one gave a shit. now used as an alternative to Bush suppporters rather than actually arguing their point.

"At least Bush didn't have sex and lie about it. He may have fucked our economy and our country, but he hasn't had extramarital sex (that we know of)!"

yiddish

bastard language of Hebrew and German, used because until recently the Hebrew language was not conducive to conversation. every word is filled with untranslatable connotations, which makes it an excellent swearing language. also holds the most potent insult in the world: paskudnyak

spoken often in New York without actual knowledge of meanings. Almost always heard in combination with English.

Classic yiddish words: shlep, schmuck, klutz, mensch, bagel, and the wonderful -nik nouns (beatnik, nogoodnik...)
