What the hell is a Wonkfest ?
It sounds like it would involve indecent exposure charges! TL |

Wonks are people who are really into the details and minutiae of a particular topic, usually in reference to political policies, like education or the environment. Gotten to be a pretty popular term in US political circles in the past 8 years or so. And usually the people using the term are wannabe elitists who think they're some kind of insiders. Like the jerk-offs at the "West Wing" television show using the term POTUS in the commercial for their premiere thinking that they were oh-so-hip and that nobody'd ever heard it but them. Okay, rant done. ;)
Definitely not a Register-coined term, though. |
