Kevin Timoney Channels Norm Crosby And Mangles The English Language.

Here is Kevin Timoney’s answer from Thursday night’s Piermont mayoral “debate” when asked about his “vision” for Piermont’s downtown zone:
 

DORIA HILLSMAN

… Discuss your vision for Piermont’s downtown zone…

 

KEVIN TIMONEY

Thank you. Um[sic]… agreed with Nate on his… stance on the downtown. It is charming, and we cannot lose that charm. It’s very important. I do think we need, as I mentioned before… we need to get zoning in place[sic]. We need to keep that architecture and character of our existing downtown. Um[sic]… we all heard about Otto’s getting re-sold… uh[sic]… or getting sold. We need to ensure that Otto’s stays there with something that fits within that[sic], and it doesn’t get oversized and box-cuttery[sic]. We need something that we can… the Village ourselves, control. So we need to make sure that it fits within our scope and it’s not overdeveloped and it is low-density. Thank you. [Emphasis supplied].

 
So - what in the Holy Hell does “box-cuttery”[sic] mean?
 
Google it. It doesn’t exist. It means nothing. Nada. Null. Zilch.
 
A “box-cutter”, on the other hand, is something else. It looks like this, below, and that can’t possibly be what Kevin Timoney was thinking. He is the candidate of peace, love, and non-violence, after all, right?:

So somehow in his own nervous and confused mind, Bruce Tucker’s intended planted mayoral successor Kevin Timoney must have conflated “cookie-cutter” on the one hand, with “big-box stores” on the other hand, and thereby arrived at a fanciful and fabulous new word - “box-cuttery”[sic]. 

“Box-cuttery”.

It’s sort of like the word “strategery” attributed to George W. Bush by Saturday Night Live years ago - but with the difference being that Kevin Timoney actually used the “word” “box-cuttery”[sic] in a public speech in front of people and on-camera - to clarify one of his most important campaign objectives while seeking to be the Village of Piermont’s senior executive for the next two critical years.
 
Now, one may think that this is all small stuff - but a slip of the tongue, made in error, by an anxiety-prone man-boy newbie candidate.
 
Yet in point of fact, the words that we use are a direct representation of the way that we think. Kevin Timoney is a pencil-pushing, lever-pulling small-time City wannabe bureaucrat - a non-lawyer who administrates contracts while taking orders from others - and an individual who thinks and talks like an airhead from California’s San Fernando Valley. 

Moreover, Kevin Timoney had ample time to prepare and even script all of his answers to the questions given at last Thursday night’s Piermont mayoral debate. Of course Timoney knew that he would be asked about Piermont’s downtown zone. Of course it was likely that the topic of the Otto’s development on Piermont Avenue would come up – in fact, it was Kevin Timoney himself who brought up the topic of Otto’s!
 
Maybe Kevin Timoney lapsed into “box-cutter” talk because he temporarily thought that he was processing some small-time New York City invoice in the South Bronx, rather than seeking to be Mayor of the most important village in New York State’s Lower Hudson River Valley.

Whatever the reason, Kevin Timoney wins the “2025 Norm Crosby Award For Dumbest Malapropism During A Piermont Mayoral Debate”. Timoney can now place this new award on his mantelpiece next to the Big Chicken Award that he won from Unhand Piermont a few days ago for his refusal to take debate questions directly from Piermont residents. 

Congratulations once again, TIMBO.
