The phrase California governor Arnold Schwartzenegger used to refer to the democratic
legislature in the capital for not appealing to the needs of Californians, and also brought criticism from the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender
Caucus because it was "misogynist as it is anti-gay"
The insult was first used in the Saturday Night Live skit "Pumping Up with Hans and
Frans," which made fun of Schwartzenegger when he was half bodybuilder/half actor.
Example:
"If they don't have
the guts to come up here in front of you and say, 'I don't want to represent you, I want to represent those special interests, the
unions,
the trial lawyers ... if they don't have the guts, I call them girly men."
