If you picked "2 days" in the "How long after the inauguration before some really, really white person embarrasses him or herself by misappropriating black lingo" pool, congratulations -- you win.

ohhhhhh did she say fisting!!!!
i can't believe the anchor didn't just start laughing
at least she did refer to the first lady as the president's ho or one of his bitches.
Ouch?
AHAHAHAHHA
That is truly awesome!
Who knew that we knew so much about the Obamas personal lives already!
FISTING!!! Did she say fisting? Holy crap in a hand basket I can't wait to tell that one to my wife (btw who is black).
Only on Fox can we go from a terrorist bump to fisting to explain the Presidents love for his wife.
Wow.
Oh no she dih in't!
[fisting the air like she just don't care]
I can't think of the last time I "fisted" my wife.
...or, she me for that matter.
Bad enough to misappropriate black lingo...but then to get it wrong, too.
Yowch!
(And that's a yowch both for the mistake and the image of either one of the first couple fisting the other...)
ohhh, thats friggin great.
Oops. Bet she's going to wish she hadn't used the term fisting after everyone in her office has a good laugh at her expense.
Okay that is pretty fucking funny. I would have paid top dollar to see her face when the error was explained to her. I imagine it was a perfect example of horrified lemon sponge face.
Also, great caption!
I shit you not - I actually put my palm to my face and gasped, like my grandma when someone cusses in church.
Holy gods! That is vile.
Hooolee Cow! I cannot believe she doesn't know what it means!
CAN'T. FUCKING. BELIEVE. IT.
By the way, maybe I am not understanding something, but "fisting" is not 'black' lingo.
Fisting is race-less!
The thing that makes it work is her tone of voice when she says it.
She really puts this "caring but committed" emphasis on fisting.
She really wants people to understand how fisting can bring two people together in a way they definitely never thought over before.
And then she goes on about how the look at each other when they are kissing, and my brain asked the natural question coming from that, and I couldn't stop laughing.
I guarantee you tonight Cindy McCain is Googling "Fisting."
Tomorrow John McCain takes an extra-long shower.
@ C Riedel-de Haen
The commentator was referring to the "fist bump" which is more common among black people as a form of greeting than among probably any other race in America.
She misspoke by calling it "fisting."
I've been black for 45 years and didn't know that fisting was supposed to be part of our vernacular. Methinks someone else is confused.
Ok maybe ya'll didn't get it but I am sure she meant "fisting" as in touching fists together, and that is also not a "black" thing. Labels like "black lingo" aren't helping matters here people. How about you just say slang and leave it at that if you HAVE to label something you don't understand.
Wow. Just, wow.
Bwahahahaha!
I was also unaware "fisting" is considered "black" lingo. BTW, hearing the way she speaks and seeing her demeanor, it's not surprising she doesn't know the meaning of the word.
First time in a couple of years something on the 'tubes has made my eyes go wide.
I... I ... uh. Wow. I really didn't need to know that.
@ Smack, Cracker, and Punk:
Yeah. We know. That's the joke.
Bwahahahahaha!!
***wipes tear***
Just imagine the look on her face when someone told her what she said.
She probably thought - people don't fist....do they....note to self google fisting tonight.
I will save her the time:

They even have pictures demonstrating hand placement.
"Fisting" is black lingo?
I could have sworn that was a more, errr, Teutonic predilection.
wow
fisting
michelle is pretty open-minded and adventuresome...
I didn't hear any black lingo either, but the blonde was turned up to 11.
giggle,giggle,giggle,
Where the hell do they find these people?!
In my (admittedly limited) experience, fistbumping is more of a douche-y white guy thing than it is a black thing. So when I first saw the Obamas doing the bump, it had more of a "whitening" effect for me than it did "blackening". Ultimately, though, I can't recall a bigger deal ever being made of such a trivial, inconsequential bit of behavior.
I'm referring to fisting, of course.
