They always say “ardent” supporters when it comes to Paul. Never “enthusiastic” or “passionate” or “strong believers of” “keen” “eager” “adoring” “avid” or “devoted”…etc
etymology
early 14c., of alcoholic distillates, brandy (ardent spirits), etc., from O.Fr. ardant (13c.) “burning, hot; zealous,” from L. ardentem (nom. ardens) “glowing, fiery, hot, ablaze,” also used figuratively of passions, prp. of ardere “to burn,” from PIE base *as- “to burn, glow” from PIE base *as- “to burn, glow” (cf. O.E. æsce “ashes;” see ash (1)). Ardent spirits (late 15c.) so called because they are inflammable, but the term now, if used at all, probably is felt in the figurative sense. The figurative sense (of “burning with” passions, desire, etc.) is from late 14c.; literal sense of “burning, parching” (c.1400) remains rare. Related: Ardently.
LOL, not exactly the best choice of words to begin with. It’s bad enough news is just repeating the same information, they could at least use a different vocabulary.
Let’s hope so, lest I run the show from the looney bin, singing looney toones & merry melodies
