A phrase for a mug

In football, playing on the attack is what wins and what we like. But in politics, it is the other way around. What earns you points is defense, because attacking is unsympathetic. Pedro Sánchez on public television defended himself against the word perro (what a gift the right has given him, my God) as groups with bad press have defended themselves (taking the word and turning it around with pride). It is called linguistic reappropriation. In Catalonia, the most-watched television program is called Polònia, in reference to the word polacos. We all know that queer used to mean, disparagingly, weirdo but is now used with pride, and the same happens with the term dyke.

In this sense, Pedro Sánchez (Perro Sanche) came out to defend himself with the complicity of the presenter. All politicians have a good team of scriptwriters and Pedro Sánchez counts on the best. Before, we called famous phrases lapidary phrases. Today, now that we are all modern, no one knows what a lapidary phrase is, but on the other hand, everyone could understand that Sánchez let out a coffee mug phrase. One of those phrases that one writes on a coffee mug (a conical mug, from a late show). May they get paid a lot, a lot, please, may they get paid a huge fortune, the scriptwriters—let's see if it might be Los Javis—who, to the question "How do you handle criticism?" made him answer: "They remember my mother... But I also remember theirs... When I raise their pensions".

Let them come out to take a bow, please. They have all my respect.
