Someone’s got some serious ‘splainin’ to do … just sayin’.

Wow. Foxx’s office now admitting she didn’t *actually* recuse herself from the Smollett case, legally speaking. They just used that word “colloquially,” for public consumption. pic.twitter.com/b63Mhct2ln — Guy Benson (@guypbenson) March 28, 2019

So Foxx DIDN’T actually recuse herself. Alrighty then.

It was a euphemism. Or an onomatopoeia. One of the two. — John Ekdahl (@JohnEkdahl) March 28, 2019

Did we say "recused?" We meant "fully engaged." — Curtice Mang (@curticemang) March 28, 2019

Our bad.

It all depends on what the meaning of the word "is" is. — Erick Harper (@ObiWanHarp) March 28, 2019

So she identified herself as recused. Now I get it. — Oliver Mandic (@olivermandic) March 28, 2019

THAT’S it.

it was recusal, but not recusal recusal — David Burge (@iowahawkblog) March 28, 2019

This is getting worse. — Jack (@arcitejack) March 28, 2019

Oh yeah.

Jussie had a previous DUI arrest where he gave police his brothers name at first, claiming to be him. His prior should have prevented first time offender treatment. — Joe (@Joe__Byrnes) March 28, 2019

Man, Smollett is just an as*hole.

Seriously.

So she used a legal term, but "not in the legal sense." Ooooo-kay. — Greg Renaud (@belize042) March 28, 2019

Something like that.

Um, in the law "recuse" means "recuse," not "I backed into the shadows and put someone else in the light to do what I wanted to do without consequences." — Michele Haynes (@MicheWrites) March 28, 2019

that's just something we say… Basically — michael johnson (@ungawamike) March 28, 2019

I have seen similar dissociation with words and meaning…

In toddlers. — David S. ~ [ ✝ ?? ☕ ] (@d4v1d5m1t6) March 28, 2019

That’s an insult to toddlers.

So when Jussie "paid" his debt for his multiple crimes, that was not an actual payment of his full debt, just a colloquial payment? — Apollo Fuhriman (@ApolloJamnJelly) March 28, 2019

Colloquially speaking, yes.

Maybe?

Hell, we don’t know.

What the hell is going on here — JT Anderson (@JTA268) March 28, 2019

Don’t look at us, man, we just work here.

Damn! What's next with these people?!? — Pansy Edwards (@AileenPansy) March 28, 2019

Don’t ask.
