In an otherwise excellent post, Don Surber had me right up until the end, when he uttered this little summary:
“President Trump slayed the Bush dynasty. Trump slayed the Clinton dynasty. Now, Trump has slayed Obama…”
The past-perfect word for “slay” is “slew“. It’s one of the oldest words in the English language, for obvious reasons, and should be treated with the deference it deserves. As the slaves used to sing:
Lil’ David play on your harp, hallelu-hallelu
Lil’ David play on your harp, hallelu.
Lil’ David was a shepherd boy,
He slew Goliath and shouted for joy!
Lil’ David play on your harp, hallelu.
If uneducated slaves could get it right…
Kinda like the old I drank it vs I drunk it
No offense but who cares in this case – I’m so glad we didn’t get the Vagina for president.
Took out the trash. Take out the trash.
