Sarah Palin’s meandering, fiery, sarcastic, patriotic and blustery speech endorsing Donald J. Trump for president on Tuesday in Ames, Iowa, does not easily submit to categorization.

It has been described as performance art, a filibuster, even slam poetry. (Watch the video, read the transcript.)

Mrs. Palin has always been a singular force on the campaign trail. But in her years away from politics, the former Alaska governor and Senator John McCain’s Republican vice-presidential pick in 2008 seems to have spawned a whole new series of idiosyncratic expressions and unusual locutions — to the point where even Mr. Trump seemed occasionally mystified as he tried to follow along.

Below, a list of 10 of the most memorable lines of the speech, and an attempt to translate them:

“They stomp on our neck, and then they tell us, ‘Just chill, O.K., just relax.’ Well, look, we are mad, and we’ve been had. They need to get used to it.”
