He is going to rape this country dry
Posted: March 24, 2025 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: expressions, humor, idioms, language, malaphor, mixed idioms, Trump, words Leave a commentThis was noticed in a Facebook comment exchange. The commenter was talking about Trump and his control over the Department of Justice and the FBI and what he may do with these government agencies. This is a mashup of “rape the land” (destroy all the resources) and “bleed/suck/milk (something or someone) dry” (take all the resources that someone or something has available). There may also have been a Freudian slip in there. A big thanks to Diana Greenhalgh for spotting this one and sending it in!
