9. And Then There's The Adjective...

Fucktangular.

One of my students has used the word "fucktangular" in an informal essay to describe a situation that was complicated and messy in multiple unpleasant and difficult ways. I am in the presence of greatness and I am stealing this word.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

12. Many fine baskets of deplorable brainwashed minions willing to freely part with their money....

to provide welfare for a life-long grifting criminal, narcissistic psychopath and fan of fascism.

Plus, there's a whole family of them......

13. Is fucktangle a synonym with quantum entanglement?

[liberaltrucker]

14. Carlin called it a Mongolian Clusterfuck

[Martin68]

17. Yes, that's been around since the early 60s. Unfortunately it's right up there with "Chinese Fire

Dril"l and such terms as "Indian Giver" and "Off the Reservation" as expressions the are pejorative in regard to a particular culture. I admit using it in my 20s in the 70s, but hesitate to use it now.

15. Ha ha!

[Martin68]

[ShazzieB]

21. A fucktangle of shitweasels?

Is that like a murder of crows? An obstinacy of buffalo? A mob of kangaroos? An unkindness of ravens?

[Cha]

22. Rt TY I agree

[lastlib]

23. Nice, but highly offensive to the Mustelidae family.....

Weasels are noble beasts compared to the pond-scum of the MAGAtry.

[Mopar151]

24. An enterprising little fellow

Who dines on what he can find under the woodpile!

[Glorfindel]

25. I thought the term sounded familiar...

shit weasel: Comes from Stephen King's book, Dreamcatcher. Humans who eat the alien virus call "byrus" grow an alien weasel in their bowels and when it gets too big it bursts out of their butt. "Mcarthy's lower midsection was covered in blood as the shit-weasel came out"

So not literally a deliberate insult to our friend, Mr. Weasel.

[OMGWTF]

26. When everyone else sees "TFG" they're thinking 'the Former Guy' but for me,

TFG means "that Fking Guy".

[Aussie105]

27. Fucktangle and clusterfuck.

Or for the more polite, Tuckfangle and Flustercluck.

. . . . we know what you mean either way . . .

Correct American English usage of the terms:

"I had a real tuckfangle of a day at work today. It was just one flustercluck after another."
