AOC and Yoo Hoo

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has, in less than one full term in office, established herself as a giant of commitment, and representation for her wing of the Democratic Party. Representative YooHoo has up to now languished in anonymity, having led an entirely non-distinguished career. It's safe to assume that until this week, most Americans had never heard of him.

It’s not yet determined what people will remember AOC for. But Representative YooHoo instantly went from obscurity to … well, to becoming a verb.

It’s a verb that might be difficult to define in words, but easy in metaphor. I see a chihuahua, angry at a substantial human - leaping up to bite them in the crotch, but falling short, with its teeth stuck in the human’s trousers, at about the knee, unable to let go or get away, and just stuck there.

The silly creature seriously YooHooed.
