Really shocked that the writers of simpsons.wikia.com don't understand the definition of the word "parody"

well the fact that he said it rates like a 2 on the "holy fuck" scale, but the fact that he said it into a microphone...

I can't see what other word he can claim to have been going for.

"negotiator" seems to be the comment-box apologist's choice
― preternatural concepts concerning variances in sound and texture (contenderizer), Friday, 30 March 2012 07:48 (twelve years ago) link
I actually buy "negotiator" more than that "blah people" nonsense as it kinda almost makes sense, but damn, abandoning that word in midstream was idiotic. It's great to see Republicans hoisted by their own "teleprompters are Communist" petard anyway.

exactly, I mean I think Santorum's an idiot too, but no way did he mean to singlehandedly destroy his campaign right there

I kind of swallow the g a lil' like I'm saying 'go'

I'm not getting the phonemes down but I wouldn't pronounce the 'g' in negotiator in the way that santorum said it
― dayo, Friday, 30 March 2012 13:43 (twelve years ago) link
does anyone really think he meant to say THAT WORD
― Estimate the percent chance that a whale has ever been to the moon? (frogbs), Friday, 30 March 2012 13:44 (twelve years ago) link
what, negotiator? I don't think he was trying to say negotiator.
― dayo, Friday, 30 March 2012 13:45 (twelve years ago) link
why? because you dislike Santorum? I mean neither really make sense but, c'mon man, really?

i mean maybe santorum is just particularly prone to stumbling over words but uhhh you don't just stumble over something that sounds like 'nig' and just leave it there dude
― i think this is serious (elmo argonaut), Friday, 30 March 2012 14:31 (twelve years ago) link
i'm with frogs on the this one; santorum has a long history of saying the dumbest possible thing but i really doubt he meant to throw out a racial slur during a campaign rally. he's hardly a bright public speaker though and i bet he heard what "negotiator" might sound like coming out of his mouth and did a panic move.what a maroon.

I really don't understand how you pronounce negotiator, dayo.

emil.y I place the emphasis on the vowel sound and not the consonant

i really don't understand how you pronounce 'go'!

for me its not so much the pronunciation that is so damning, its the way he bailed so quickly

I was just trying to point out that there's a difference between the pronunciation of 'g' and 'gg' - like the diff between tiger and trigger. maybe other people don't do that but I do. like if you purposely emphasized the two syllables in trigger you'd go trig-ger whereas in tiger you'd go ti-ger.

do people usually make Freudian slips in places where they make no grammatical sense? I mean let's say he actually did say "anti-war government n!@##%$@#$!", what would that even mean?

I would split trigger as tri-ger, as I'm pretty sure would all the dictionaries. Double consonants are not separable.
― jpattzlovevampz 2 hours ago (Phil D.), Friday, 30 March 2012 14:59 (twelve years ago) link
well okay! I concede the point.
― dayo, Friday, 30 March 2012 14:59 (twelve years ago) link
I just want to point out that the IPA symbol for the g in both of these words is exactly the same. Given that IPA is a universal phoneatic representation of how to pronounce words, that probably explains why no one is getting what you are talking about.
Also, the two syllables of "trigger" are "trigg-" and "-er".

dayo srs. q do you speak mandarin or cantonese regularly? wonder if syllabic rules might have you thinking about ~words~ different
meanwhile for Santorum's veep I nominate Michael Richards

I was going to comment about nu and gamma assimilating into a single gamma in Latin but I went to check my thinking which led me to a book The Mystery of the Serpent Mound which is about some bizarre new age alphabet theories around some geological formation and is published by Frog Books so yknow wheels w/in wheels everybody

Does "anti-war government negotiator" makes sense in context?
I assume he didn't mean to come out with a racist slur either but it's a stretch.
― Une semaine de Bunty (ShariVari), Friday, 30 March 2012 15:13 (twelve years ago) link
that doesn't make much sense either but as least there's a coherent phrase there to mangle
― Estimate the percent chance that a whale has ever been to the moon? (frogbs), Friday, 30 March 2012 15:20 (twelve years ago) link
It's not a phrase Google would have returned a single result for prior to this morning. I can only assume he lost his train of thought and was mixing his points up - "anti-war, big government, negotiate with enemies" - and just mashed it into one thing.
― Une semaine de Bunty (ShariVari), Friday, 30 March 2012 15:23 (twelve years ago) link
"anti-war" doesn't make sense

right, I think he just realized he wasn't making sense at the worst possible time

i'm from the american south. saying "negotiator" as "nigosheeatuh" is hardly a stretch.and yeah, what sharivari said. dude is not well known for clarity of speech or thought

i'm with frogs on the this one; santorum has a long history of saying the dumbest possible thing but i really doubt he meant to throw out a racial slur during a campaign rally.
i doubt that he consciously meant to say the n-word, but i'm not certain he didn't just sort of slip into it in the heat of the rhetorical moment, at least in his own mind. like i don't think he got tripped up by the phonetic similarity of one word to the other. he got tripped up by what he was thinking. plus it sounds lot more like "nig" than "neg". the difference isn't in the pronunciation of the 'g', but of the vowel.
