No. Santorum is catching on as the name for somethine else though...

I'm not even gay and I know about the 'alternative' meaning of the word 'Santorum'.  This'll never catch on though, because why on earth would it?

It may catch on because there is no other word for it. "Santorum" fills a need in the language.

I admit that there isn't currently a single word for 'defeating an incumbent', but there isn't really much call for one either.

That "meaning" was completely made up. I hope you know that.

Of course it was; everybody knows that.  It's just that one new meaning for 'Santorum' has already been applied, and been somewhat successful.  My point is that this new meaning that jfern and BRTD are trying to popularize is nonsensical and pointless.
