Where does Kavanauseous come from?

@kavanauseous / Twitter

Kavanauseous was first used in September 2018 by Armstrong & Getty, a libertarian radio show hosted by Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. The idea was that one might feel Kavanauseous (a blend of Kavanaugh and nauseous) that Democrats kept calling for delays in the confirmation process of Brett Kavanaugh to the US Supreme Court.

Shortly after it became clear in October 2018 that Kavanaugh was likely to be confirmed, people with left-leaning politics adopted Kavanauseous for their feelings about Brett Kavanaugh. Many felt that the sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh were not taken seriously enough and that his angered self-defense during Senate hearings was inappropriate. Others were fearful that his confirmation to the Supreme Court would result in conservative rulings against matters like abortion rights. These feelings were described as Kavanauseous and sometimes Kavasick
