Parsing "Mitt"

"For a Western Mormon, that really sounds like a preppy nickname, doesn't it? Like Biff and Skip and Pudge and Muff. Boof. Mitt Romney."--Calvin Trillin*, quoted in today's Weekly Dig.

*or, as I like to call him, "Calvin Trilling."

At the risk of being a pedantic jerk, Adam, don't you mean Calvin Trillin, not Trilling?

But in terms of his commont..."Boof?"

And then as I make that obnoxious comment, I have a typo in the word "comment." D'oh.

Um...Yeah, "Trillin" was what I was looking for. Gracias, Matt.
