"First Lady Is Really Gay" from Saturday Night Live
ARTICLE: "What the FLIRG? 'SNL' coins a new word"
by GLENN GARVIN, ggarvin@MiamiHerald.com
Saturday Night Live may be 34 years old, and its original audience may be buying Depends instead of weed, but it retains an amazing popular-culture punch. The lead sketch from Saturday's season debut, a ''public service announcement'' with Tina Fey as Sarah Palin and Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton, got airtime on all of the morning news shows Monday -- or part of it did, anyway. SNL may have gotten rid of the Not Ready For Prime Time Players, but the Not Ready For Airing On Family Shows flavor remains.
As usual, the dodgy bits are some of the funniest. In Saturday's sketch, the Palin and Clinton characters were condemning sexism in political coverage, and they offered some specific examples. ''Don't refer to me as a MILF,'' sternly demanded Palin, using the street acronym for Mom I'd Like To, um, have intimate knowledge of. Added Clinton: ``Don't refer to me as a FLIRG. I Googled what it stands for and I do not like it.''
Dunno about you, but I'd never heard the expression FLIRG. Neither had a friend of mine, who immediately punched it into Google and came back with just two references. By Monday morning that number had grown to nearly 6,700. There's no general consensus on what the word -- which seems to have been made up by SNL writers -- means. But the best guess seems to be that it's an acronym for First Lady Is Really Gay.
Wanna bet that there's an entry for it on UrbanDictionary.com by Tuesday?

Palin and Clinton characters were condemning sexism in political coverage, and they offered some specific examples. First used on the Saturday Night Live, Fall 2008 Season Premier opening sketch where you had a Sara Palin/Hillary Clinton sketch. The phrase occured in the following context:
Palin: ''Don't refer to me as a MILF,''
Clinton: ``Don't refer to me as a FLIRG. I Googled what it stands for and I do not like it.''
Google had no hits that evening, however the next day the consensus on the web was First Lady Is Really Gay
Hillary is a FLIRG

Acronym for First Lady Is Really Gay.
Said of former First Lady and current NY Sen.Hillary Clinton, who is widely thought to be same-sex oriented. Widely thought by insecure men, right-wing Republican loons, and inbred Christian Fundamentalists, that is. (There's considerable overlap between these 3 groups.) As someone who's been married for over three decades to a voraciously heterosexual man, it's a little hard to believe she's gay; especially since these rumors appear to have originated in the deepest recesses of the repressed Republican psyche. Sen. Clinton seems never to dignify these claims with a response.
Less common usage: First Lady Is Really a Guy. Well, she does have more balls than 98% of the American male population. But it takes more than balls to make a man.
This word probably originated on September 20, 2008 on a Saturday Night Live skit in which Tina Fey portrayed Sarah Palin and Amy Poehler portrayed Hillary Clinton.
Heterosexual Guy: That Sarah Palin might be an unqualified, war-mongering, evolution-denying, snake-handling, tongue-speaking, bible-believing, abstinence-educating, moose-hunting, Russia-seeing, backwoods piece of trailer trash, but I'd do her! What a MILF!
Lesbian Girl: I'm waiting for Hillary to divorce Bill. I'm sure she's a FLIRG!
