Bomb Chuckers
An FBI guy used this term to describe Tier One Terrorists in one of the many TV interviews covering the bombings at the Boston Marathon, interesting word choice. As upsetting as the bombing was though, and meaning no disrespect for the long term challenges faced by all that felt its impact, I am beginning to tire a bit of all the media coverage. Yet the term, bomb chuckers, has remained in my mind and in today’s blog I propose additional meanings and context for it.
First, for example, I think one might consider using it to describe the newscaster, who recently lost his job after the very first uttering his very first words (including an expletive) on air. He could be a bomb chucker!
Then there is Mr. Nobody, a bomb chucker that lives at my house and forgets to flush the toilet leaving a nasty surprise for the next person who visits the very same commode.
People at the dog park that decline to pick up their dog’s poo could also be considered bomb chuckers (a variation on bomb shirkers) and people who do bag up the doo doo and upon tossing it into the proper receptacle, miss. They could also be called bomb chuckers, even though they might not be very skilled bomb chuckers.
And last and quite possibly the least, I will leave you with the stink bomb chucker. No explanation necessary because we all know who I am talking about here, even when they won’t fess up.
