Tonight, NBC celebrated the ladies of SNL, rekindling the meaning of the word flurge, of which Amy Poehler’s Hillary Clinton demanded not to be called whilst admonishing audiences for saying she has cankles.
The special showcased classic feminine-led female skits throughout the years. We got to watch Alec Baldwin turn from a thin, debonair leading man to the premiere distended comedian of the aughts. We got to relive Christopher Walken as Colonel Angus, the best misappropriation of the word cunnilingus ever. We also got to relive Tina Fey as Sarah Palin and, of course, Poehler as Clinton.
The skits and acting are semi-legendary, and launched the two into the stratosphere — tv shows, Vogue covers, you name it.
The flurge meaning and even spelling are still up for debate nearly two years later. The “u” spelling is alleged is to combine “flaccid and urge.” Like most men, I see Clinton as a masterful stateswoman, a classy lady, and a major boner-killer.
The other spelling, “flirg,” is an acronym for First Lady is Really a Guy. This is genius.
Whatever the meaning, we’ll probably start seeing more of their comic avatars right around May 2011. This might just be when Palin is nominated Huckabee’s Veep, and Hillary Clinton will abandon her post of Secretary of State. Don’t be surprised to see a Ted Kennedy-esque insurgent campaign against the incumbent, Barack Obama, in 2012. If anyone has the opportunity, it’s Clinton.
