Turd Blossom
"Turd Blossom" (or Sand Turd) is a Texan term for a flower which grows from a pile of cow dung.[1] As Turd Blossom, the term has gained fame in the United States as a sobriquet that was reportedly assigned by former U.S. President George W. Bush as a term of endearment for his former chief political advisor, Karl Rove.[2]
In July 2005, several newspapers declined to run two Doonesbury comic strips portraying Bush addressing Rove by this nickname.[3]
In the 2014 film Guardians of the Galaxy, main character Peter Quill calls the villain a turd blossom as a distraction.[4]
