[Ads-l] verbal kudzu

[Barretts Mail]

In "Why the left is wrong about Alex Jones and Megyn Kelly” (today on CNN, http://cnn.it/2t3cw5K), John McWhorter writes:

—

There isn’t enough context for a precise meaning, but the metaphor seems clear (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/kudzu <https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/kudzu>, https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/kudzu <https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/kudzu>).
