while you make good points, please stop spelling it 'gumment', it makes you sound like one of the nutjobs.

I honestly had no idea what he meant by "gumment" and thought it was similar to a gauntlet or something. Had to say it out loud before I finally got it. Whats the fucking point of abbreviating something like government to gumment? It just makes you look unintelligent...

'Government' is too respectful.

'Gumment' has the contempt of some barefoot guy in the hills of east Tennessee out in the woods with a home built still. I find that contempt very appropriate.

Otherwise your point is well taken.

It made me hungry for gumbo.

I've never been able to figure the gumment/gubmint guys out. Are they making fun of rednecks? Or are they assuming the role of some sort of redneck freedom fighter? Do rednecks even say "gumment?"

I don't remember just where I got 'gumment', but I did spend a lot of time in Tennessee!

But, I stand corrected and more highly polished before the more sensitive HN audience and will use 'government' (cough, cough, upchuck).

But we should always keep in mind who's paying the bills: They are supposed to be working for us.
