Flerg

This? Was hilarious. I hope Tina Fey pops up a lot this season (that's not a commentary on whom I want to win the election--I just think her depiction of Sarah Palin is funny). One of by-products of this skit has been the proliferation of the word "flerg" (alternate spellings "flurge," "flirge," "flirj"). I, probably like thousands of other viewers, had no idea what it meant so promptly googled it. Google is great for tracing the spread of (mis)information. Lots of people had theories, which I'm sure they pulled out of their asses: first lady I'd rather get elected, first lady i'd rim job (ew!), first lady is really gay. I, of course, went to the most authoritative source: Urban Dictionary. The funny thing is, flirj is now on the home page, but I don't think that's actually the right definition--I think somebody made this up post-skit and it just spread through the worldwide web like wildfire. I think what Amy Poehler meant was flerg, a limp penis. If you look at the date of this entry, it clearly predates the skit. Have I really spent this much time of my life dissecting this? OMG.
