that should be "fly free as a signifier," even if it does evoke Julie Andrews.
I'm intrigued by "teabagger," BTW: back when John Waters used the term "teabagging" I thought it was pretty rare. I understand it became widely known through some online multiplayer videogames that allowed the PC to squat (defensively/to take advantage of cover?) and therefore accidentally allowed for a form of avatar-positional commentary. Has this meaning now penetrated the political mainstream? Will we see Representatives talking about being in each others' bases, or bringing down TPKs on their policy proposals? cf. "snorkeling."
