What, realistically, could he have done as one of a hundred senators? I like what he's saying as a presidential candidate, so I hope he'll be able...
I'm really impressed with the way that young people are mobilizing for Bernie Sanders (and, yes I'm a Sanders supporter, too!). I believe we're...
THAT'S MEAN!!! :eek:
That sounds likely!
I agree with you about the third one being unlikely, and the first two seem a little obscure and localized to have generated a word used nationally....
That sounds likely, as zoot-suiters in the 1940's called themselves hepcats.

This was going to be an edit to my first post to this thread, but apparently you can't edit after a certain amount of time has elapsed, or something....
