pinko - noun (pink 5, number 3) a person who holds advanced or moderately radical political or economic views
pinko - noun (pink 5, number 3) a person who holds advanced or moderately radical political or economic views
pink elephants - noun plural any of various hallucinations arising especially from heavy drinking or the use of narcotics

The Bible, he noted, only included one of them.
