With all the talk of “landing the triple lutz” at the Olympics, it occurred to me that President Donald Trump is a “triple putz”.
I thought “putz” was Yiddish slang for “penis” with the meaning of “jerk” but according to the Google dictionary:
putz
ˌpəts,ˌpo͝ots/
NORTH AMERICAN informal
noun
1. a stupid or worthless person.
verb
2. engage in inconsequential or unproductive activity.
“too much putzing around up there would ruin them”
That definition is not quite what I meant. I told our Cagle cartoonists that we weren’t going to accept penis gags any more. That was quite a difficult edict to enforce — I’m even violating it with this triple putz.
Putzes win, I guess.
