- Codpiece: "(In the 15th and 16th centuries) a flap or cover for the crotch in men's hose or tight-fitting breeches, usually matching the costume and often decorated. Noun (107)".
- Flaunt: "To parade or display oneself conspicuously, defiantly, or boldly. Verb (109)".
- Cummerbund: "A wide sash worn at the waist, esp. a horizontally pleated one worn with a tuxedo. Noun (112).
Figurative Language
- Symbol: "Nowhere in the bible does God say he wants pairs of men to be fruitful and multiply" (112). This is a symbol of what many people, even christians, believe is wrong. When a christian advocates gay marriage, he is no longer a christian that believes in the bible.
- Metaphore: "Sacrifice is love" (113). This compares love and sacrifice without useing like or as.
- Irony: "Elbow patches? Just what are these lecherous lectuers doing behind their lecterns that wear out their elbows so fast?" (116). This is an example of irony because Stephen Colbert doubtless has some elbow patches, and he like them, only sits behind a table all day recording the Colbert Report.
Quote
- "First word we reclaim? "Homosexual." From now on, it's going to mean what it always should have: heterosexual. Think about it. "Homo" means "the same." And we're all born with the same sexual orientation-straight. Ask any baby" (107). This quote is significant because it explains how Stephen T. Colbert feels about gays; very strongly opposed.
Theme
- The theme in this case is Homosexuals and how they are bad. Stephen cetainly has strong opinions, and this is one he talks about passionately.
