shitgibbon
Meanings
Plural: shitgibbons
Noun
- A contemptible person.
- A type of compound word used as an insult, consisting of a single-syllable expletive, followed by an absurd or innocuous two-syllable noun that usually forms a trochee.
Origin / Etymology
From shit + gibbon. The insult was coined by journalist David Quantick in British music magazine NME in January 1990. The linguistics sense was coined by linguist Taylor Jones in a blog post from February 2017 (see quote), which followed an earlier blog post by linguist Ben Zimmer about the insult's origin and linguistic qualities. The posts were written shortly after the prominent use of shitgibbon as an insult by politician Daylin Leach on Twitter directed at then-US president Donald Trump. Leach's tweet may have been inspired by a similar 2016 viral tweet by user @MetalOllie, who also directed the term at Trump.
