We all know what “Bernie” means or who it refers to. But what does “bust” mean? According to the picture above it means “Hillary”. As a non-native English speaker I had to look up “bust” in Google dictionary. Forgive me for that please.
According to the dictionary
bust1
bəst/
noun
-
a woman's chest as measured around her breasts.
"a 36-inch bust"
synonyms: |
chest, bosom, breasts
"an empire waistline accentuates the bust"
|
-
a sculpture of a person's head, shoulders, and chest.
CLARIFICATION: So after reading the comments and thinking about it, I guess all I wanted to say was: based on that picture I learned “Bernie or bust” must mean something else than the original meaning!
So I looked up the meaning of “bust” and tried to wrap my non-English native speaking mind around that meaning and how it fits with the image. And I found that maybe it is equivalent to “Bernie or someone with a bust” if we take the “bust” word literally. And it is fine with me if that someone is Hillary. What’s the big big deal? You want everyone to LOVE Hillary when all it matters is that they vote for her. And it”s up to Hillary to get people to love her. I happen to admire her and voted for her in the primaries.
