We know what a "baby mama" is, but what the heck is a "chyron"?
Fox News has apparently admitted that referring to Michelle Obama as her husband's "baby mama" was maybe, um, a mistake. Fox's vice president of programming has told the website Politico, "A producer on the program exercised poor judgment in using this chyron during the segment."
We asked a human with thumbs to look up the word "chyron" in her Webster's. It's not there.
Since we've always referred to writing on a T.V. screen by the plain old English noun "graphic," we find "chyron" to be a bit pretentious. Or maybe it's an intentional distraction: Use a weird word to divert people from the fact that you just described a Presidential candidate's wife in racist terms.
We GROWL at Fox News and leave big scratch marks on Roger Ailes' face.
