I mean if you’re gonna insult someone’s genitalia wouldn’t something like puss filled herpes infested penis be more appropriate? And what exactly is a rinsed penis anyway? Does he use a bidet - is meant to hint that he’s out of touch, elite “european”? The reason the whole santorum thing worked was because that’s _gross_. You can’t just string vulgar words together that sound like someone’s name and have it be an insult. That’s just my two cents. ---

Not particularly original either. I’d bet the guy had been hearing that joke since he was a small child. ---

Better to be a rinsed penis than a smeghead. ---

I heard it was “rancid penis” which is more in keeping with your idea of a proper insult. ---

I saw somewhere that he also called either Reince or Bannon a “limp-dick mother-fucker” which does raise certain … anatomical … questions. ---

I had absolutely no clue what the OP meant and know that I do I would say it’s too lame to be an insult. It does, however, speak volumes about the person who said it. What a cunt (now _that’s_ a good, solid insult). Seriously, what the hell kind of grown man says something that childish? ---
