favourability
In her Guardian Opinion piece, Is Usha Vance starting to feel a little sorry for herself?, Arwa Mahdawi writes:
They won all right, but pretty much everyone in the US now thinks JD is a loser. He has historically bad favourability ratings and there are memes of him everywhere. I have absolutely no sympathy for Usha – who is far from a victim – but I have to wonder if she is starting to feel a little sorry for herself.
I just love the way historically bad favourability just rolls off the tongue.
I mean who can live with that?
Maybe the Vance’s see that as the challange.
Back in the day when I taught 4th grade Sunday School (think that one through why don’t you) I had a kid was so ‘just not going to take part and I don’t care’ that I told I was going to flunk him.
He was going to flunk 4th grade Sunday School.
You can’t, he said,
I can, I said.
You won’t, he said.
I will , I said.
As a matter of fact, I said, you will be the first kid in history to FLUNK 4th GRADE SUNDAY SCHOOL!
He looked at me for a second.
The gets this look in his eye.
“I’ll be … the first?”, he said.
And breaks into the biggest gleam.
