So, I was clicking around on Twitter, when I saw this:
The part that has upset people is at the bottom where it says:
“They're out of all their artillery. The nude is supposed to be like the bazooka. Dude, you're all out of bullets, you're all out of bombs, you're all out of this stuff. What have you got left?”
“I'm six days into the term, and you already used all your ammo. So enjoy being exhausted for the next two years while we run train on the progressive agenda.”
Yes, they are upset over this:
“So enjoy being exhausted for the next two years while we run train on the progressive agenda."
I thought it looked strange, how does the sexual meaning fit that sentence?
Then somebody else chimed on and said:
Of course, many Right Wing and other media outlets have caught this little NON-scandal
The Daily Mail:
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez under fire from right-wing critics after saying she'll 'run train on the progressive agenda'
FOX News:
Ocasio-Cortez vows to 'run train' on progressive agenda in bizarre turn of phrase
The SUN UK:
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says she’ll ‘run train’ on the left-wing agenda sparking backlash over crude ‘gangbang’ slang
RT:
Phrasing! Ocasio-Cortez says she wants to ‘run train’ on progressive agenda
and, of course… Breitbart:
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: We Progressives Are Going to ‘Run Train’
But, as I said above, the sexual meaning just doesn’t fit or make any kind of sense, so I looked it up on Urban Dictionary, I thought the wording was rather odd as well, people are confusing what she said RUN TRAIN… and they are confusing it was running A TRAIN.
Yes, running A train means 2 or more guys having sex with one girl.
The first 5 definitions of Run Train on Urban Dictionary are sexual, but, the 6th Definition of Run Train means; to work.
According to Urban Dictionary Run Train means:
Run Train:
.
.
.
Jared: Wanna run train in gears later?
Dave: Yessir!
Jared: Don't invite Sam or else we won't be able to.
.
.
So, it seems that a bunch of people have gotten their panties in a bunch over a phrase that they think she used, when it fact, they are wrong.
If you put it in the sentence, you can see the sexual way just doesn’t work… no matter how you try it, the sexual phrase has no way of working in that sentence. But.. when you put the other wording in, that it means to work, then it fits perfectly:
“I'm six days into the term, and you already used all your ammo. So enjoy being exhausted for the next two years while we run train/ work on the progressive agenda.”
Now, I am not the biggest fan of hers for various reasons, but the more the right wing go after her for stupid things like this, the more I end up liking her.
