Word Of The Day

de trop:

too much or too many : SUPERFLUOUS, EXCESSIVE [Merriam-Webster]

From the French. Noted in Andrew Sullivan’s answer to some mail on The Weekly Dish here:

Point taken. I have tried to make distinctions between actual transexuals and the gender woo-woo crowd, but obviously not enough. I’m grateful for the upbraid. And that policy is dumb. I have long opposed restroom bans as de trop, and only consider full-nudity locker rooms to be problem [sic]. But the distinction between post-op transexuals and the dude who just decided he feels like a woman today is huge and important. I guess what I’m saying here is: I’m with you. And I think the genderqueers have hurt legit transexuals by their postmodern hooey.
