Santorum? You're telling me a person had the same name that we use to refer to that mixture of cum and lube running out of someone's asshole?
Has the word gone further than the man himself? Or do you joke?
Yes and what's even funnier is that this wasn't even common knowledge at first, there was a new story about how someone tried making a Rick Santorum character in an animal crossing game that had come out around the time, I think it was the one on 3DS.
And the game flagged Santorum as being a lewd word or slur for its online cuss word prevention. Which led to people looking it up, and figuring out what that word meant.
Here's the deets:

Which I recall vividly. Dude deserved it wholeheartedly
