a popular catch-all term first widely used by loudmouth TV show host Morton Downey Jr.. He was always popping off the chops about what he believed in and he frequently shoved his ideas on others and shouted down his rivals/opponents/adversaries/whatever by trying to have the last word on everything, name calling, interjecting put-downs, shooting his mouth off like a kid and often giving the final retort of "Zip it!". His show caused quite a stir in 1988 - 1989, it was what people in colleges and workplaces discussed a lot. The worse legacy from it all is that in the coming decade and into the 21st century a tidal wave of sensational journalism, obnoxious TV and radio dunderheads, stupid one track mind politicians and other cretins belching nerve gas, intolerant attitudes and hatred would pollute the media, government and entertainment worlds.
