Yesterday the President and First Lady and Bill Clinton and some other important types planted some stuff out on the Anacostia River, including a tree or two, and Barack started joshing with Michelle about who’s the better tree-planter. This completely confused one “Political Punch” reader. SHHHH nobody tell them that “talking trash” is code for “doing it in the butt.” [Political Punch]
This is what we get for electing a president whose first language is Jive.
I too would like to know what is ment.
Yeah, that damn Barack–he should come with his own subtitles like the black dude on Airplane. That would be a good use for the teleprompterz, also! I am so confused!
Sara Benincasa: So that’s why Hillary is in the Cabinet. She’s the nice older white lady who translates.
did someone say ” butt sex”??
Sara Benincasa:
Wait… I thought his mother tongue was classical Arabic? Now I’m confused.
Modern-day scholars are divided on the meaning and origin of this archaic idiom. Some have traced it back to a recording studio altercation between Russel Simmons and the corpulent hip-hop collective The Fat Boys in 1985. Others think the term may have originated in the rejected screenplays for the Blaxsploitation films of Gordon Parks Jr.
I think it was Clinton, but he was saying “But, sex!” He was going to say something else and was distracted as he tends to be.
CorkPopper:
Cut me some slack, Jack! Chump don’ want no help, chump don’t GET da’ help!
PO? I didn’t realize your preznit is Parack Obama.
PO? I believe the correct abbreviated title for his Freshness is O.G. Word to your motha.
All the olds are completely perplexed by Barack’s and Michelle’s relationship. There’s the whole “being black” part, which they just do not understand, but also the “ability to display an emotion other than icy resolve and latent fury from a lifetime of disappointment and dismay,” which is foreign to people of a certain generation.
My girlfriend hates it when I try to start talking trash to her.
I believe “twitter,” or “tweets,” are also code for buttsex.
Sara Benincasa: OT, but I LOVE your shows.
Dave J.: Now, now, let’s not overgeneralize. One of my sets of grandparents were totally in love, devoted to each other and absolutely freaking adorable all the way to the end. The other, well, more like your description. But still…
liquiddaddy: Did you see Dowd’s column today? Buttsaix everywhere!
How did this person get close enough to hear POTUS mackin’ to his girfreen?
talking trash = calling Bill Clinton “whitey”
Red Zeppelin:
Never get old. Maybe Fox News can hire Barbara Billingsly for daily commentary?

“Talking trash” is jive for “Kill the white people.”
It’s the new official language of the USSA since January. Didn’t these comrades get the memo?
What is meant by “ment?” Surely convenience for convenience sake comes with a cost, no?
jagorev: She rocked in NC this weekend…
This is all the more retarded since Bill Clinton consistently sounds about 300% blacker than Barry on his most self-consciously black day.
SKS is technically correct, but the urban-suburban hip-hop definition of ” talking trash” is placing one’s testicles in the mouth of another.
Sara Benincasa: And it was George Clinton, not Bill.
naw Bill doesn’t sound black
he just sounds like an older white southern man
ManchuCandidate: I was eating my lunch and almost choked on my carrot! Stop translating!
President Obama joked with President Clinton saying, “Let’s see what you’ve got Clinton.” He watched as the former President dug into the dirt and remarking that, “I think the President has some pretty good shoveling skills.”
Hell — who hasn’t come across a nice piece of ground only to find Bill Clinton has already planted his tree there?
“just wanted to point out that these good looking arms come in handy,”
fap fap fap. Also.
Who the heck is PO?
Michelle’s arms are definitely a part of their sexy time. Jeanne Moos caught him flirting with Michelle some time in July, feeling up her arm.
Clancy_Pants: God, I love that movie!
danadevin85: Like I said, about 300% blacker than Barry.
Talking trash is a black thing. Learn to google you cracker ass honkeys.
Also too - Smack talk is fisting. That’s so ghertto.
Also, I like the commenter’s name. It works really well with the question. How DO these people do that? Also.

Filthy Crapcan: Jake Tapper has enough clearance to smell the whiff of Michelle’s armpits apparently.
badmuthagoose: I’m thinking President Obama
Mr Blifil: Nasty! And awesome.
This proves the GOP isn’t lying to us, since they don’t even know what “trash talking” is. That the correspondent is Republican is obvious from his refusal to use POTUS as the acronym for President Obama (PO in the comment), and the illiteracy involved in misspelling “meant.”
AxmxZ
doesn’t matter he just doesn’t sound black
and yet these people are allowed to drive cars, feed themselves, go into the workplace without chaperones, etc.
“That must be some of that Will Smith rap lingo we have heard about from Michael Steele. Home to Belair indeed, nyah, nyah nyah.”
Herrmhph, yes, I’ve heard that these people commonly called “blacks” or “Negroes” sometimes speak in a patois known as “jive”. Perhaps this “trash talk” is a form of speech in which one “black” competing with another “black” in a sporting event attempts to denigrate the opponent through the use of hyperbole and other rhetorical devices?
Oh, Piyush? Come here. There’s a good lad, go fetch the madam and me some more chutney.
ManchuCandidate: badmuthagoose: PO is obviously Peter Orszag, the real preznit, dontcha know?
Warblogging JT? fuck yeah.
“Political Punch” reader. I think that’s an oxymoron. Jake seems to attract the AOL crowd over there. I’m totally impressed that any of them can read; I’m just surprised they only had 1 typo.
someone please make this twitter nonsense go away lest we be forced to acknowledge that those we have convinced ourselves to have some tiny little teeny weenie nano bit of validity have none. please, my world crumbles.
“Talking trash” is when detritus in a receptacle forms a mouth and then begins speaking.
It often assumes the prosody and cadence of Glenn Beck.
Would warblogging Jake Tapper’s Twitter feed be considered ‘Warbling’?
Is this ghertto speak?
