Wednesday wordage, Yiddish Edition

The classic, classic definition of the Yiddish word “chutzpah” is murdering your parents and then pleading for leniency before the court because you’re an orphan.  This has been superseded by a new definition provided by Matt Schlapp, chairman of the American Conservative Union and a “loyal supporter of Donald Trump,” in an interview with NPR’s Mary Louise Kelly:

KELLY: You're saying you agree that the situation at the border is a national emergency.

SCHLAPP: I agree that the situation at the border is an emergency. It's a humanitarian crisis, and America needs to solve the problem.

KELLY: And I - and I'm just trying to square that because when we interview members of Congress - Republicans and Democrats who represent the border - they say it's not an emergency.

SCHLAPP: Well, then why did two kids die?

Yup, there you have it.  We killed a couple of kids, and therefore we need to have a national emergency to build the f***ing wall so we stop killing kids.  

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
