MAGA fun on the interstate...

Driving with the hubs and kiddo up to Flathead Lake for the day today. A moment ago, we saw a MAGA hat on the side of the road on the off ramp. Hubs says “hold on kids!” as he swerved to the right to run over the red hat with our truck and the boat. We all laughed so hard!!! I wanted to share it with you guys. There’s a flat MAGA hat on the off ramp at the Wye outside Missoula. America just jut a little more great! Cheers!!

I can't wear it anymore because I'm always being looked at suspiciously until those staring at me see the front of the hat doesn't say MAGA.

to puncture your tire. I saw those in the 90’s during a Caterpillar strike. They were put down so our trucks would run over them along that stretch of road because someone thought our company was involved. We weren’t, but hey these people have a loose understanding of facts and reality.

For instance, Naija Lingo, an online Nigerian Pidgin English dictionary, provided a different definition for the word maga. According to Naija Lingo, this word means “really messed up” and lists “loser” as a synonym. The example sentence for maga is “my guy na so you maga since you lose your job big fool.”

Kọ́lá Túbọ̀sún, a Nigerian linguist who won the Premio Ostana “Special Prize” for Mother Tongue Literature, a prize given to individuals who advocate for indigenous languages, explored the history of the slang term “maga” for an article published on Medium in 2017. Túbọ̀sún explained that the word “múgùn,” which means “fool” in Yorùbá, another common language in Nigeria, was eventually shortened to “maga” in Nigerian Pidgin in the early 2000s:

I live in San Francisco never see maga hats or anyone with enough gonads to wear one.

I hope it wasnt some poor unfortunate fan's Black Hawks hat.

Red is too important a color to surrender!

Big ugly trucker hat with the MAGA slogan facing the road. We wouldn't have been able to read it had it not been on the off ramp and we were going slowly...and pulling a big boat. My kiddo spotted it first and his dad did the run-over honors. When we came home from the lake, we looked for it and it was gone. Whomp whomp. What a way to start the day...exhilarating!
