1. It's actually a word already...
though I have no doubt that Limpballs misused it. It's a type of molded porridge made from stewed fruit and starch. It can also be used as an exclamation to express disdain for pompous rubbish.

4. Then he actually used it correctly......
But for me, it was a new word, one I will use as oftern as possible especially when referring to Republicans....

2. That happens to be one of Nero Wolfe's favorite expressions..
and Wolfe was written as a liberal - his creator, the legendary author Rex Stout, was a hardcore progressive and a founding member of the ACLU. Needless to say, I hate it when Mr Christie appropriates it. He's a witling.
