asativum commented on the word windrip
Berzelius "Buzz" Windrip is the fascist president of It Can't Happen Here, a cautionary novel by Sinclair Lewis. One verse of a campaign song written on his behalf:
Buzz and buzz and keep it up,
Our cares and needs he’s toting,
You are a most ungrateful pup,
Unless for Buzz you’re voting!

Whilst trying to refresh my memory about some of the characters, I discovered that the full text is online.
I love how Lewis plays with language throughout his books, right under your nose. And he came up with some of the most wonderfully apt names for characters.
