You don't have to be polite Google. The more proper term is 'snowflake country'... our government has the absolute thinnest skin.
"Snowflake" is still pretty polite. But "pussy" is politically incorrect. There's probably a better word out there.
Wankers. The US government and "conservative" local governments are full of wankers. Ratty, unwashed cum socks are more pleasant to deal with.
If the president doesn't shy away from using a politically incorrect word like that, then I find it entirely justified to use the same term when talking about him and the country he represents.
Trumpussy.
You mean that waddle formation under his chin?
I just wanted to show off with my knowledge about the American Dialect Society's Word of the Year 2022.
Gross.
We 'meric'ns prefer "global warming denialism proof-crystals"
It's a baby dictator, not a snowflake.
Looks like Snowstorm 2025 is going to keep blowing over the continental United States until 2028
Only metaphorically. The snow where it should be, doesn't exist. This year alone, Florida has way more snow than Iowa. If that's not an indicator, I don't know what is.
