"Mulo" - ironic word of the day/week/month/year for current administration

By Michael Ramirez


New ironic but actual word of the day/month/year/ that describes the current administration:

mulo.

According to the Real Academia Espagnola mulo has two meanings in Spanish. The first meaning is “mule” from Latin mulus. The second meaning of mulo is “a person characterized by strength and vigour”.

(Del lat. mulus).

1. m. Hijo de caballo y burra o de asno y yegua, casi
siempre estéril. (Translated via Google translator: Son of horse and donkey or ass and mare, almost
always sterile.)

2. m. coloq. Persona fuerte y vigorosa. (Translated via Google translator: Strong and vigorous person.)

For some reason the two definitions certainly don’t mesh well together nowadays, does it? Just find it rather amusing to see the whole irony behind the word "mulo." Especially with the health care reform Trojan donkey. Go figure!
