@MaySting1@implausibleblog@andreajenkyns When AJ was elected her first words from the stage were that she wanted to 'take the country back' to something or other. Anything else we need to know?
Delighted to learn that our new government is dropping the phrase 'levelling up' from the Departmental title. This was always a piece of vacuous Johnsonian nonsense. Good politics, clear thinking and precise language are inextricably linked.
@Carmunist Second Class Taxi, by Sylvester Stein (1958). Probably hard to find now, but the first book to be banned in Apartheid SA. A delightful story . . .
@danwootton Really, where would you be without that word 'woke' to hang on to? You are evidently bereft on any ability to marshall a broader, more varied palette of words. Poor language, poor ideas. How you are exposed.
@DarlingAxe π I do like the idea of the comic 'reductio ad absurdum' for well known titles. They don't have to be shorter, just a suitably bathetic alternative. You should ask followers for more examples, though I'm afraid I'm not feeling inspired enough just now to make a start.
