It could have been something like, "Wow! That was super, you little communist you!"

But then, maybe some of you pinkos wouldn't understand that.


What the heck is a pinko?

Pinko? A "red" sympathizer. Someone who either was or defended Communists and Communism. Good Lord. I just realized I'm old enough to remember when the official mythology was the world was locked in a battle between democracy and communism, rather than a face-off between ideological terrorism and entrepreneurial capitalism.
