Kek! The Honkinator wants you to know you're a fuckin' mark.
Not your fault. Most casual fans don't speak Carney, the secret language of pro wrestling.
A "Mark" is someone who believes wrestling is real and not pre-determined. It comes from the old carnival days when the ticket takers would put a discrete chalk mark on a carnival goers clothing to identify them as someone with money. The game runners would spot the mark and work him out of as much money as possible.
Your perception has merit.
If you learn about wrestling, it's lingo and it's underlying psychology, it will help you to understand how the Mockingbirds operate. All political elections also follow the template.
The clowns have been employing husband and wife teams for decades. By placing them in the embassy stations under official cover, they get two operators for the price of one.
