A little while ago there was a discussion about dict.org. Today I was
trying this service when I noticed the devil's dictionary:
From THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY ((C)1911 Released April 15 1993) :
VOTE, n. The instrument and symbol of a freeman's power to make a
fool of himself and a wreck of his country.
PRESIDENT, n. The leading figure in a small group of men of whom --
and of whom only -- it is positively known that immense numbers of
their countrymen did not want any of them for President.
When you look up 'Gore' in the Devil's Dict it suggests:
BORE, n. A person who talks when you wish him to listen
MORE, adj. The comparative degree of too much.
LORE, n. Learning -- particularly that sort which is not derived from
a regular course of instruction but comes of the reading of occult
books, or by nature. {...snip...]
And for 'Bush' it suggests:
PUSH, n. One of the two things mainly conducive to success,
especially in politics. The other is Pull.
Just thought I'd share this :-)
