Tomísimo in Mexican newspaper

[AngelicaDeAlquezar]

I found an article whose first sentence quotes Tomísimo's dictionary. The topic is not the website itself, but I found it funny that it was mentioned.

If someone wants to give it a try:
Cochinero en Trompabulario* by Guillermo Sheridan.


Guillermo Sheridan is a respected academic who writes editorial comments in El Universal, one of the most read Mexican online newspapers.

The article deals with Mexican use of language, but he's rather expressing a little despise for politicians who seem to fancy lately the word "cochinero" to "denounce" all kinds of dirty tricks in elections and other political activities.

*"Trompabulario" is a popular game on words with "vocabulario".
Prefix "voca-" sounds the same as "boca" ("mouth"), and a slang word for "boca" is "trompa" ("trunk", like that of an elephant) mostly used when one speaks with flaws, too much slang or rude words.

Y el PRIñol sería las palabras inventadas por el partido político, ¿verdad?

Sí, parece que son algunos militantes del PRI quienes iniciaron la moda de decir "cochinero".
