8 Names You Should Say Instead Of Trump

I think "F**face Von Clownstick" has a nice ring to it.

Remember Snooki? She was the breakout star of "Jersey Shore," in that she’s most likely having a herpes breakout as we speak. In 2010, every human being in the country knew about her. In 2011, she wrote a book that was an honest to god New York Times Best Seller. In 2012, nobody gave a shit. It wasn’t because she had changed; it was because everyone stopped saying her name. Like Beetlejuice, she only showed up when you said her name. And like Freddy Krueger, she lost her power when you stopped remembering her.

Trump’s campaign is what would happen if Snooki never stopped being popular and then ran for president. They were both reality TV stars, and they possess the same skill set — getting attention. That means they possess the same weakness — lack of attention. Trump is nothing if nobody talks about him. Unfortunately, you can’t just not cover the Republican presidential candidate. But you still take his power away if you don’t use his name, even if it’s a very amount. Trump understands this as well, branding his political enemies with childishly simple nicknames like “Little Marco” or “Low Energy Jeb” or “Lyin’ Ted."

John Oliver got to this point with the #MakeDonaldDrumpfAgain campaign. But at some point, you get used to that alternate name. I compiled a list of my favorites. So instead of saying Trump, say:

1. Cheeto Jesus

This one actually came from a GOP staffer.

2. F**kface Von Clownstick

A gem from Jon Stewart, and my personal favorite.

3. Short-fingered vulgarian

From Spy magazine all the way back in 1988.

4. Antique doll-hair thief

Also from The Daily Show.

5. Sentient YouTube comment

From the wonderful Olivia Nuzzi.

6. Human dumpster fire

The implication of Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse’s excuse for not going to the RNC.

7. Blonde milk shit

That one’s from Mexican drug lord El Chapo.

8. Feckless blowhard

From the well respected Des Moines Register.

I get the irony of writing an article about someone you say should get less attention. But if we have to write, read or think about this sentient tangerine fruit leather, we should at least do it with the level of respect he deserves.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
