King's English



Congressman Steve King is a big supporter of the the English language! During his career in the U.S. House of Representatives, he has introduced a bill to make English the official language of the United States six times! None of these bills have made it out of committee, but, keep trying, Representative!

In honor of his persistence, we present a weekly post, "King's English."

Each week we give you a way to increase your vocabulary and build your understanding of the language that has served America well since 1492.

This Week's Word: Besties


"besties"

(noun) a word that means best friends. Is usually said by teenage girls who are insecure about themselves and therefore calls everyone they come in contact with a "besty."

definition from the Urban Dictionary 

The following are from Michelle Bachmann's Pinterest Page:

"Stevie and I stayed up until almost 10:30 reading the new
anti-immigration bill.  I always help Stevie with the big words!"

"Stevie and I went down to the border to make faces at the
kids trying to come over.  We were able to make time for the
beach, though!

"I told Stevie, 'That gosh darn sand gets in everywhere!'
Stevie said, 'Just like illegal immigrants!'

"Stevie is so funny!"

"Sometimes Louie Gohmert insists on coming with us.  I
think he is a dweeb, and Stevie thinks he doesn't speak good 
English.  Neither of us really like him."
