on waffling


Waffling (noun)

The inability to stick to a single position, instead flip-flopping back and forth like a liberal fish in the mighty freedom-loving claws of a Bald Eagle. The term originated in roadside diners in the American heartland, where customers[1] unable to choose a breakfast item in the face of the bewildering array of choices presented by America's bounty would be slapped in the face with a fresh waffle and told, "You'll take a waffle and like it!" The phrase "cruising for a waffling" was soon shortened to simply "waffling."
Synonyms: Kerrying, Kerrytitis
Antonyms: Staying the Course, Constantly adjusting one's tactics

  1. Obviously liberals, since conservatives have decided by age 5 what they're going to have for breakfast from then on.
