Congross (Congress + gross)

“Congross” (Congress + gross) is an unflattering nickname of Congress. “Congross” is often taken for a one-letter typo, so it’s often given as “ConGross” of “CONgross” or “ConGROSS.”
 
“Congross” has been cited in print since at least 2009.

Naaaaaa…......Just Pelosi. I keep a picture of her (BUF) handy in case I break down on a Railroad crossing. As far as the rest of the turds in “congross”, its past time for an enema. May the Potomac soon over flow.

(...) btw, was “Congross” an intentional misspelling or just an unusually apt typo?

The spelling is quite deliberate, and, I thought, quite appropriate – like “Democrap Party” or “Demonrat” – although I actually did make a typo the first time I hit on it – then, seeing the result, decided no correction was warranted.

(...) Am I wrong? If not, how does Congross (intentional) propose to pay for this?
