"Someone Should Go to Senate and Snatch a Knot in Their Ass"

[lapucelle]

According to Mediaite:

"Rep Buddy Carter remarked that he agreed with Trump for singling out Sen. Lisa Murkowski for voting against the motion to proceed.

'I think it’s perfectly fair,” he noted. “Let me tell you, somebody needs to go over into that Senate and snatch a knot in their ass."'

What does that even mean?

It certainly sounds horrible. At least I understood Blake Farenthold's threat of an "Aaron Burr style" solution.

1. Me too

Mystified. A southernism?

2. So why don't we raise hell and make him apologise?

That is what they always do and it works!

3. Urban Dictionary: Snatch A Knot

snatch a knot

To hit someone, usually used in a threat of punishment or retribution. A knot is generally snatched in one's ass, though variants include the neck and the head.

"Boy, if I ever catch you looking around under my mattress again, I'm'a snatch a knot in your ass!"

So he apparently wants to hit Sen. Lisa Murkowski.

4. "Snatch a Knot" Meaning:

http://heavy.com/news/2017/07/snatch-a-knot-meaning-definition-buddy-carter-video/

The phrase was submitted to the Urban Dictionary in 2005. According to the site, the phrase means “to hit someone, usually used in a threat of punishment or retribution. A knot is generally snatched in one’s ass, though variants include the neck and the head.”

The phrase was also submitted to the Online Slang Dictionary in 1997. That site’s definition is “to get beat up; to severely injure.”

Another site listing Southern slang has a couple of variations of the threat. One is “jerk a knot in your ass.” Another is “snatch you bald.”

“Let me tell you, somebody needs to go over there to that Senate and snatch a knot in their ass,” Carter said in the interview. “I”m telling you, it has gotten to the point where… How can you say I voted for this last year, but I’m not going to vote for it this year. This is extremely frustrating for those of us who put so much into this effort.”

Weird and violent.

6. Always entertaining to learn new regionalisms

Is that a common expression in some place it's been my pleasure not to visit?

[lapucelle]

7. Yes, but I can't get the images out of my head.

8. In my part of Georgia, we'd say "jerk a knot in his head".

I've never heard "snatch a knot" before. Especially with regard to someone's ass.

[TomSlick]

10. Arkansas too.

I've heard the suggestion to jerk a knot in someone's a$$ all my life. I've never heard of snatching a knot anywhere.

[Spider Jerusalem]

18. I never heard either, and I lived in Georgia for over 20 years.

Must be a South GA thing. Or maybe a redneck thing.

9. So...

We have one that wants to fight an Aaron Burr-style duel with opposing Senate women. Now another wants to "snatch a knot in" another woman Senator's "ass."

Very classy. Highly respectful to their female colleagues in the senate.

But if there's one thing that I've learned in the course of my life (and I've been to every continent except Antarctica, mostly during my military career), it's that no matter where you go in this world, you don't have to look far to find someone taking a crap on women. It seems to be a universal thing. It's so popular that I expect them to make it an Olympic sport eventually.

It doesn't affect me directly, I'm a man. But I have a wife and two daughters. And I think that if some low class bumpkin talked about "snatching a knot in their ass" during a public broadcast, I might forget the vow that I made to myself about being a peaceful man for the remainder of my life.

13. Was he molested as a kid?

[Control-Z]

15. Legitimate question.

As my post below kind of insinuates.

[Control-Z]

14. IN their ass?

Whoa. Whatever it means, it ain't good.

[bdamomma]

16. Hey DU'ers

Lawrence wants to know what the phrase means, he has twitter. He just ended his show with it.

[NightWatcher]

17. I believe it means to be yanked out of what you are doing so hard that it formed a knot.

Imagine holding a five foot section of rope and violently thrashing and yanking it back and forth so hard that a simple knot formed in the end.
