Flip-flopper. Anyone who says the word sounds like a bloody idiot. How did a fucking sandal, that does not at anytime turn itself upside down nor reverse it's orientation on the foot, become synonymous with a politician who reverses his positions? Isn't the term violating the economy of language? "Haven't you flipped your position on spraying for weevils?" Does that not suffice?

I propose we go back to "waffler". Although my argument against flip-flop holds true for waffler as well...I just hate the word flip-flop.

I hate the so-called shoe as well-it's the choice footwear of all fat assed, lazy Americans, and probably should be prohibited by a national dress code-along with fanny packs, midriff bearing shirts that are two sizes to small for the owner, and the wearing of pajama pants to the supermarket. Think of the poor Chinese kids who make your stupid footwear. Tie a shoe. Think of the children when you slip your ugly, bunioned toes into a flip-flop. For heaven sakes, man, think of all of us on that count.
