From author John Gould:
When lumbering began and drives of long logs came down the Maine rivers to mill, now and then a persnickety log would turn crosswise of the stream and cause a jam — a logjam. This brought much work and great danger to the river drivers, who came to call this particular log the jillpoke. So in Maine anybody who does booby things and causes trouble is a damn jillpoke. It’s a Maine word.
— This Trifling Distinction: Reminiscences From Down East (1978) p.176
Now, who in politics might we refer to as a jillpoker?
Do you have something you’d like to share? A link? A joke? Some words of wisdom? A topic to discuss? It’s our nightly Open Thread, and you have the floor.
Well, Joe is an authentic Jillpoker. Or was once.
That’s funny and punny and true. Thanks for the smile!
I nominate every Senator that had a chance to cosign the objection to Georgia’s slate of electors and did nothing while the whole world was watching video of Ruby & Shay pulling ballots from under a table after telling everyone else to leave.
Poke them hard and replace every Senator.
America is jammed because they went sideways on their duties. IMAO
Ask Jack. I mean, come on man, they didn’t just go up the hill to fetch a pail of water. >}:-D
