Iron My Shirt, Mrs. Future President

Many of you have already heard about the hecklers at one of Hillary Clinton's rallies in NH. They repeatedly shouted, "Iron my shirt!" while holding signs with the same message. As they were being taken away, she responded with, "Aah, the remnants of sexism, alive and well!" which was received with laughter and applause. Nice comeback, lady! If you weren't running for office I wish you had dumped a bottle of Downy Wrinkle Remover on their heads!

I debated about posting this very recent and well-publicized cat call because, well, it could be argued that its not a cat call at all. But when I looked up the definition on Merriam Webster's website I found:

catcall
Function:
noun
Date:
1693
1 : a loud or raucous cry made especially to express disapproval (as at a sports event) 2 : a derisive remark : criticism
catcall verb
