Saw an unfamiliar acronym over at Maverick Philosopher the the other day: “SIXHIRB”. I had to look it up. It’s a coinage of Dennis Prager’s, and it stands for Sexist, Intolerant, Xenophobic, Homophobic, Islamophobic, Racist, Bigoted: the “basket” of cudgels routinely applied to anyone to the right of the Vox editorial staff.
I’d have preferred “BRIXISH”: it sounds more like an adjective, and carries a faint echo of America’s founding people and culture (i.e., the usual target). But it’s still handy to have a linguistic shortcut for these reflexive and ubiquitous slurs, so here’s a nod to Mr. Prager.

Howzabout the ever-handy:

Rhymes deliciously with our moto.
I like BRIXISH a lot better. Also the implication of bricks is stunning, and the similarity to Brexit, as well as the fact that I can pronounce it without having to remember all the Leftist hate-terms in order. Good find.
My preferred cudgel in response to the Left is “ESADMF“.
