Donald Trump used a vulgarity to describe Hillary Clinton's loss to President Obama in 2008 Democratic presidential nomination as follows: Even a race to Obama, she was gonna beat Obama. I don't know who would be worse, I don't know, how could it be worse? But she was going to beat -- she was favored to win -- and she got schlonged, she lost, I mean she lost,' Trump said, using a vulgar Yiddish word for a man's penis. [ Politics] According to Oxford Online Dictionary the word means as a noun: A man’s penis. There is neither a definition as a verb nor its verbal usage. According to: 'penis,' 1969, from Yiddish shlang, literally 'snake.'

Compare schmuck. As a verb, 'to have sex with,' by 2005. Related: Schlonged; schlonging. It does have a verbal usage, but strangely it says it started to be used in 1969. The linked seems to support it.

• What is its etymology? How did it get its traction? Software cracks and serials. Is the word shlong or related with it?

• How vulgar is this word? When a word like f-word is spoken, it gets automatically bleeped, but it didn't when it was spoken by him. Yiddish and Middle High German both appeared relatively close together (respectively originating from around the 9th century and 11th century). During this period the Middle High German word slange (itself originating from Old High German's slango) for serpent or snake evolved to Yiddish's shlang, until eventually it became the Yiddish word schlong we know today.

How did it get it's traction? Because we are a terribly unoriginal group of people, where anything that resembles a man's penis will become a euphemism for it; see: sausage, weiners, one-eyed snake, stick, hose.

However, even in slang form I've never encountered 'schlonged' before Trump (although you can immediately understand what it means - it's not that creative). While the word itself isn't too offensive (euphemisms don't tend to be as their original meanings are innocent enough), the intent behind it definitely is in it's blatant sexism. He deliberately uses the word schlonged because we instinctively know what it means while associating it with the schlong Hillary's presumably lacking. Just like when he mentioned she couldn't satisfy her husband, then questioned how could she satisfy a country; this man knows how to use words and phrases that stick in their vulgarity without being particularly vulgar at all.
