Bushcrack
Created by: Bulletchewer
Pronunciation: bush-crak
Sentence: His Bushcrack about the decrease in taxes was aimed to please those precious voters.
Etymology: From "Bush" meaning "liar" and "wisecrack" used ironically. Also note "crack" a joke, smile etc. It was either that or "politrick" (a word I heard from Max Cavalera).

COMMENTS:
Rhymes with bushwhack and reminds me of the joke about how you can tell he's lying (his lips are moving). - purpleartichokes, 2007-03-22: 13:09:00
