I have no idea what it would be. Daniel is the one who wanted to invent the childish nicknames.

I don't know.

I think Daniel just made it up because it sounded insulting. Childish grade-school behavior.

Maybe Marley thinks it's insulting to think of Obama as someone who makes it funky.

OK, I had no idea whose picture that was.

{Googling}

Peabo Bryson, a jazz musician?

If that was part of the original reference, I confess to being clueless.

Isn't it a PEB-HO a small opening that you can look though to see nekkid folks?

Or maybe it's what John Lennon thought needed to be attached to the electrical grid?

Maybe it was the character that Wally Cox played in the TV show many decades ago?

Somehow, Mr. Peb-Hos doesn't roll off the tongue the same way as Mr. Peepers.

Or maybe because President Elect Barack Obama works out to PEBO.

President Elect Barack Obama or PEBO for short...
OK, why add the "PEBO for short" part? Yes, those are the initials of his new title and his name. So what?

Excuse me if I made a mountain out of a molehill, but I read the original post with Daniel's history of political discussions in mind. My Snark Detector went off and I called him on it.

If he offers an innocent explanation, I'll retract my comments.

'cause President Elect Barack Obama is a mouthful. That's why we create acronyms.

but I read the original post with Daniel's history of political discussions in mind. My Snark Detector went off
But see, that's not really Daniel's problem.

I don't think he owes an explanation, and I doubt he needs you to retract your comments. You're as entitled to them as he is to his. I will say this: if you're planning to spring into action each time you read a percieved insult regarding our incoming president, I suspect you're in for a very busy, if not exhausting, (at least) four years.

Ah, well, that's twice I've been chastised today. The first time by PM, from a surprising source.
