My least favorite state

[Cypress]

Language and the naming of things is important.

The words we use contain within them our history and our culture. Certainly language evolves and long may it do so. What will you eat today? A turkey? To the Chinese it is just a big chicken. Are they right or are they wrong? Certainly the history and significance of a big chicken are not the same as they are for a turkey.
Enjoy your big chicken.

Yes, but check it out:

We call two-time Bush voters who cheerled us into the Iraq war; who wasted hundreds of billions of dollars on death and bloodshed, and who now "suddenly" have the nerve to whine about federal spending, “teabaggers”.

Like the word “American buffalo”, it doesn’t make any sense from the vantage of standard English lexicon.... but everyone knows what it means. It’s a commonly accepted (and hilarious!) colloquialism.

Teabaggers, in this context, is simply a neologism. Not an error.

Leave it to Cypress to politicize an off-topic thread, particularly with his favorite phrase: "Two time-Bush voters who cheerled us into the Iraq war".

You ever try to drive across Texas?

You can get form one side to the other of any state in the union besides Tx or Alaska in a just a few hours...it takes almost a FULL DAY'S DRIVING-10 hours- to drive from Houston to Amarillo and then on to the Tx/NM border!!
