Presidential Free Association: Zachary Taylor


This is part of a series called Presidential Free Association. I post the first word that comes to mind when I hear the name of the president, along with a brief explanation.




Tobacco

Zachary Taylor was a military man not known for his refinement. Nicknamed "Old Rough and Ready" he famously used chew tobacco and had excellent aim when spitting. The fact that someone thought to mention this as a gift to posterity makes me ridiculously happy.
