I had to nadin it, to find out what it means.

It's the sort of thing primitives would know, though.

Why did Mitch McConnell use the word "rimrack"???

...and during the family viewing hour. Several times...

Did he not know the meaning? It's rather odd.

1. Maybe he does and he's messing with you.

Probably not, though.

He's just being the ass that he is.

5. It has another, older meaning, basically "to damage."

The Dictionary of American Regional English says "it comes from the words rim (of a wheel) and rack (to twist or strain) and it means "to damage or destroy, esp. by misuse," or "to ruin, cheat," or "ruined, worn out, rickety," or "a foul-up.""

I'm reasonably sure McTurtle meant it in that sense, not the Urban Dictionary's more lurid meaning. I doubt he's even familiar with that meaning; until today, neither was I. Still, it's all pretty funny.

You're not a primitive, so it's not in your everyday vocabulary.

Given that it's Kentucky, I'd put my money on this one and not the vulgar Urban Dictionary one the DUmbasses are using.

If you're interested in what context the DUmmies are using the word in, they use it as a nickname for Jim Robinson at FreeRepublic.

The word "Racist" is being held in abeyance.

I'm betting most of the DUmmies new the meaning fro urbandictionary.com without looking it up. They practice it on Obama daily and each other in appreciation threads.

Never heard of it until just now.  It figures that the DUmp would rush to the worst possible definition.

Well, but you knew in advance that since it was a word unfamiliar to decent and civilized people, but in common usage by the primitives, that it'd be gross.

The geriatric felching rimrackers at the dump get confused telling the difference between their puckered lips and a sweaty sphincter.
