Don't monkey up the election!

[Correll]

He did not call him opponent a "monkey".

Correct. He did not call his opponent a 'monkey'. What he said by implication was that his opponent's policies would "monkey up" the state of the state, OR that a vote for him would "monkey up" the election itself, depending on what "this" refers to.

And to do that means "to apply a monkey to" .... whatever "this" is. Just as "to box this up" would mean "to apply a box to this" or "to polish this up" would mean "to apply polish to this".

Just as:
"To louse up" = "to apply lice to..."
"To butter up" = "to apply 'butter' (smarmy ingratiation) to..."
"To flesh out" = "to apply more substance (flesh) to...".
"To gum up" = "to apply gum to..."

So you are once again correct, he did not call his opponent a monkey directly. What he did indirectly was to describe who the actor would be in a potential scenario -- a monkey.

Strictly speaking, if "this" refers to the election he could be speaking of the voters. As in "we can't have too many monkeys voting". And you can choose for yourself what that might mean. Maybe.

All sorts of possibilities. Again, only he knows within his head what he had in mind. But clearly he chose the term deliberately. Let's agree that, if his purpose was to fling a racial slur, then this is how it would be done with plausible deniability --- indirectly.

You are almost there. (bolding added)



What he did was, with a metaphor, was describe the ACTION, not the actor.


This coming Sunday, I plan to pig out, at a steakhouse buffet.


DId i just describe myself, or my action?

 

[RealDave]

Two days in a row now you actually got something right.

Correct, I have never heard or read "monkey up" before this usage. Apparently nobody else has either, since several of us offered the challenge to find anybody anywhere using the phrase, and got nothing. Y'all have had a week now to come up with one. Zero.

Usually if we get anything back we get "monkey wrench" or "monkey around", neither of which of course are "monkey up", so the dishonesty therein is palpable.

DeSantis invented his own phrase here. Again, that's perfectly valid locution as long as the context explains the meaning, which it does. What stands out is his choice of verb. Not "mess", not "screw", not "foul", not "bugger", any of which would have conveyed the same thing. No, he went out and imported "monkey".

"You" never heard, so it was "never" used before. Than you claim he invented the phrase.

Even, it was posted couple of times that Barry used the same term during his presidency run.

Obama said "Monkey Around" not "Monkey up".

He was not referring to black people.

How fucking dumb are you people that you don't get that the racial aspect of thetertm monkey is when used in reference to black people.

It not that fucking difficult.

So, we have to have one language we use normally, and one we use when talking to, or about black people?


lol!! You buffoon.

So says the racial slur supporting POS who claims he isn't just another Trump loving POS racist.
Everyone knows what a racial slur is. EVERYONE.

So just admit that referring to black people as monkeys is a racial slur.

Come on. You can do it. Show people you really aren't that big of an ass.

He did not refer to his opponent as a monkey. That is a lie.

YOu are a liar, and a race baiting asshole.

Funny chit. So, just saying the election of a black man would monkey up something is OK?

You are either the dumbest fucking asshole on the planet or just working hard to protect your racist buddies.

Which is it?

A single action can define a person. Using a racial slur, for example. You can hide your racism & then you let it slip.

Your examples are stupid. You don't need to be a professional racist, you can be an amateur racist - you are still a racist.

Why are you attempting to speak for the Black people here ?? Are you black ??????

Do you think that Black's live their everyday lives thinking that every word, phrase or sentence uttered by a white man, has some sort of secret code, alternate meaning, and or connotation to it ????

Like it has been said here many times before, that the ghoul's, ghost, fears, and shadows are mostly being made up in one's head.... Sadly in result of these things, a mental disorder takes over a person as it developes in their head over time as a result of. Get help.

Your examples are stupid. You don't need to be a professional racist, you can be an amateur racist - you are still a racist.

If telling the crowd or the voters not to monkey up the election (somehow to you defines a man's character to his voter's), then undoubtedly he is a candidate that has to be cottled or babied because of the fact that he is so weak on the issues, that a crutch has to be formulated or found by his supporters in order to hopefully get him through some other way than running on those issues.

The men and women of American politics, if are standing up for the right causes or issues, will never be beat down or back by any racist or any allegation by a racist or any name calling by a racist.

Making a racist issue out of what Desantis said, tells the nation how much fear the left has over the candidates electability, so it's in the leftist manifesto or best interest it thinks, to operate in these ways when running possibly weak candidates up against the more established more electable candidates in these elections. Otherwise grabbing at straws becomes the new norm in these elections, but it makes people look desperate when the games are played.

Now on to your gourmanding --- when you plan to pig out, you are describing yourself, as a pig.

And may I add, bon appetit.

We all know you're not literally transmogrifying INTO a pig.

 

[MacTheKnife]

What the morons appear to be saying is that one is not allowed to criticize socialism if the socialist candidate is a Negro? Am I wrong?

Lest we forget what DeSantis actually siad: "“The last thing we need to do is to monkey this up by trying to embrace a socialist agenda with huge tax increases and bankrupting the state.”

Did he say anything at all about the socialist candidate? No. He spoke about embracing a socialist agenda. Referring to the fact that a socialist agenda would result in huge tax increases and the resulting bankruptcy of Florida.

The whole interview was about his opponent. He went into detail about how he watched him (the opponent) and how well he did against his primary competition. Even called him 'articulate'. There's your context; the other guy had just won, and was now DeSantis' opponent. So that's the subject of the interview ---- after which, again, Fox News disclaimed it with "we don't condone that kind of language".

Suppose he had said --- he didn't but suppose he did --- "the last thing we need to do is Jew down our state budget" in a race where his opponent was Jewish. Would you still be here spinning it away as "hey, 'Jew down' is a common expression (it is after all more common than monkey up) and meant nothing about the opponent" --- just because the speaker has an R behind his name?

You don't have to answer. We know.

Ridiculous but it points out your fuzzy shallow thinking.

When you refer to a Jew you are referring to a specific person or to a group of people.

Now if Desantis had said we need to nigha down our state budget you would have a point..but of course he did not say that did he? heheh

DeSantis was referring to a political philosophy(Socialism) not to a group of people nor to any particular person ...he was referring to how fucked up it would be if Florida embraced a socialist agenda. Simple, very simple ....yet you do not get it ....no suprise there.

The phrase monkey up has nothing to do with monkeys either....it is a recognized substitute for 'fuck up', 'screw up'...............next...puhleeze someone with some logic or at least a tad of common sense.

Perhaps you should consult with obama....he is a veteran of using monkey phrases..........

Didn't see it until you posted just now. Because you edited it into the previous post. But did see it several days ago when you and/or somebody else posted the same thing, trying desperately to pretend "monkey up" is the same thing as "monkey around", is the same thing as "monkey wrench", is the same thing as "The Monkees" etc etc etc. And we disposed of it accordingly. Yet here it is again expecting different results.

Yes, I'm afraid the let's-play-stupid game long preceded your arrival here. It continues not to work.
