Definition of “Sloppy Cronkite”
Last night, Jon Stewart of the Daily Show made a joke about the Fox New’s Sean Hannity being involved in a broom closet activity dubbed the “Sloppy Cronkite.” I Googled “Sloppy Kronkite” as well as “Sloppy Cronkite” but there were NO results…yet. Unlike his other irreverant references to non-pc sex acts such as the “dirty sanchez”, this one appears to be invented by Stewart himself.
According to Stewart, the definition of a “sloppy cronkite” is “when two people try to get each other off and the first one to get off says, ‘that was the way it was.’(in the voice of Walter Cronkite)“
Wikipedia already has a posted definition for “Sloppy Cronkite” and it’s up for deletion because it has been deemed “not noteworthy”. Interesting. Real or unreal, Shows like the Daily Show with Jon Stewart have the popularity to start trends, create funny expressions, stupid new sayings, idioms and multitudes of sarcastic, witty remarks.
Wikipedia is amazing in that the newest, “fresh off the press” expressions are cataloged instantly. Wikipedia is missing the boat if they insist on sterilizing what makes them relevant. A Sloppy Cronkite is a stupid joke. But it’s funny. And Jon Stuart will be credited with making us think about really nauseating things like the “Sloppy Cronkite” - that’s his gig. Whether you agree it is funny or obscene, I would argue that it is certainly noteworthy for January 29, 2007.
