    I’d keep “trump” (lower case, without any reference to where it came from) as a certain general use word, though.

    By the way, I’m writing this in the toilet, while dropping a massive stinking trump.

      I instigated a transatlantic Cockney rhyming slang version. In Cockney the rhyme is usually the word that’s missing, so you just have to know what it means.

      For example:

      • “Apples” -> apples and pears = stairs
      • “Sky” -> sky rocket = pocket
      • “North” -> north and south = mouth

      Resulting in:

      • USA: “Taking a dump”
      • Dump -> Donald Trump (rhyme)
      • Britain: “Going for a shit”
      • Our family: “Going for a Donald”

      I’m also writing this while going for a Donald.
