And how much would recent history have changed, had Ahhhhnuld, instead of calling the Sacramento nannies "girlie men," called them "epicenes"?

Well... the Gubernator thinks epicine is a "girlie word" so there you go; he wouldn't use it.

"Ghirllie meen" sounds much better than "eepiisiine" by the way. Got to use that accent for everything it's worth, it's tantamount to brand recognition ^_^

Give Governor Steakhaus a break: His neck muscles barely allow him to turn his head, so how is his jaw supposed to get around polysyllabic words? If he can barely grunt out what flavor of steroids to sprinkle on his dessert, how's he going to work the fine motor controls necessary to force through a word of Greek etymology? He was sent from the future to shoot people on a movie screen and spout garbled catchphrases, not make decisions and communicate ideas. Boy, governing sure is harder than staring at himself in the mirror for hours.
