One of Clingman's legacies was the addition of the word "bunk" to the English language. He was known for long speeches on the floor of the U.S. House which were ridiculed at the time as being filled with false information and statistics. The speeches of the gentleman from Buncombe were at first called "Buncombe," and later "bunk."
Also, the article should be clarified to state that Clingman was a Whig until the secession question in 1851 and a Democrat thereafter.Chronicler300:05, 23 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Regarding the move of this page, Thomas L. Clingman (40%), T. L. Clingman (39%), Thomas Clingman (15%), and Thomas Lanier Clingman (6%) are the only iterations of Clingman's name that constitute over 5% of references to him on newspapers.com. Star Garnet (talk) 17:09, 16 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
