Task #4: The origin of “Uncle Chom”?
July 19, 2007
Here’s a note I have in my “to do” pile regarding the term “Uncle Chom”:

I used Uncle Chom here something near to 2 years ago, it caught on then….I think I hwas using it before 9/11 actually, …. anyway - then I was gone from LGF for 7 months so I guess it fell out of usage, LOL!
I am hoping to see it enter into popular slang one day. Use it whenever you can!
Call a leftist Jew an Uncle Chom today! “
Question: is “Uncle Chom” (referring to the Jewish equivalent of an “Uncle Tom,” referencing Noam Chomsky) a neologism worthy of being in the dictionary? Is BabbaZee correct in claiming to have coined it?
This one may take some serious Googling.
