Definition
The art of drawing electoral districts in shapes so ridiculous they look like Rorschach tests designed by a drunk cartographer. Named after Elbridge Gerry, whose district map looked like a salamander, which is fitting because the whole practice is pretty slimy.
Example Usage
"The new gerrymandered district includes my kitchen, skips my living room, picks back up in my bathroom, and somehow stretches to a Denny's forty miles away."
