- Another novel creation that appeared during the 2008 presidential campaign, though one of the few that happened with the name McCain, and here it was a somewhat radical alteration to his name.
McSame
noun; blending
A derogatory reference to Senator John McCain, used to imply that he holds the same views as President George W. Bush and would continue his policies.
Etymology : Mc, from proper name McCain, and same, from Germanic somo “likewise”
Source : “I don’t know why anyone would vote for McSame.” Online comment thread, September 2008
