   Some of scooter's illiterate and nonsensical locutions   
      
   scooterisms:   
      
   "suppose" — scooter means *supposed*, e.g. "not *supposed* to be"   
   "I would just note..." [scooter lying — what he "notes" is fiction]   
   "Actually..." [empty padding]   
   "Further..." [empty padding]   
   "Naturally, ..." [empty padding]   
   "And just like that..." [scooter going "nyah-nyah" at an opponent immediately   
   before fleeing]   
   "On the contrary..." [scooter childishly disputing, *never* refuting]   
   "And yet..." [empty padding; scooter adding something irrelevant and pointless]   
   "Heck..." [empty padding]   
   "Well..." [empty padding]   
   "After all..." [empty padding]   
   "In fact..." [empty padding]   
   "Indeed..." [empty padding; this is one of "pothole's" favorites, too]   
   "I acknowledge that..." [something that hasn't happened, so not subject to   
   acknowledgment]   
   "So what you're saying..." [what follows is *always* something the opponent   
   *never* said, i.e. a straw man]   
   "TRANSLATION:..." [the same as "so what you're saying..." — a straw man]   
   "Rudy/Baxter/Lee admits..." same as "so what you're saying" and    
   TRANSLATION:.."   
   — a straw man]   
   "Where in the Constitution does it say..." [about shit that wouldn't *be* in   
   the   
   Constitution anyway]   
   "insure" [he means "ensure"; they are *not* synonyms]   
   "it's" [he means the possessive "its"]   
   "its" [he means the contraction "it's"]   
   "and" [he means "an"]   
   "an" [he means "and"]   
   "where" [he means "were"]   
   "were" [he means "where"]   
   "creditability" [he means "credibility"; "creditability" is not a word]   
   "publically" [he means "publicly"; "publically" is not a word]   
      
   He does these *all the fucking time*   
      
   Here is another category of scooterism: larding his bullshit with "wiggle room"   
   wheeze. This is when scooter clearly and undeniably means "all" or "every" or   
   "any," without qualification, but he adds some padding to give him an imaginary   
   out or escape route when his bullshit is called. Examples:   
      
       "The second amendment to the constitution of the United States of America   
       would pretty much render any gun control law you want to be null and void."   
      
       scooter, lying on 04/26/2023 at 12:45pm ET   
      
      
       "By and large, I would generally state that virtually all, if not all, gun   
       control laws currently or recently proposed would be Unconstitutional."   
      
       scooter, lying on 04/27/2023 at 2:00pm ET   
      
      
       "Actually the fact that election fraud occurred on a massive scale is   
   pretty   
       much unquestioned by anyone that has researched the issue."   
      
       scooter, lying on 04/16/2024 at 8:06am ET   
      
   "pretty much," "generally," "by and large," "virtually all" — scooter means   
   "all" or "any" or "every" in every instance. This larding with empty wheeze is   
   an indication of an inferior intellect. Sound thinkers who are good writers   
   just   
   don't do it.
