At least it wasn’t rouge. I got sick of all those rouge polls before Christmas. And vet? I had no idea Pete Hodgson was so popular
Insider: “rouge” polls make me go all pink! 🙂
“Mysogeny”? Not in my dictionary. I guess it’s a neologism meaning “creation of mystery”
Con: You’re right. I thought it was a mys rather than a mis. A bit of a rouge word eh!
It’s also a “gyny” not a “geny” ianmac.
Bailout as in socialism for the rich.
Trepidation as in banks on the precipice waiting for the socialist bailout.
Rogue as in a solvent bank.
Bipartisan as in socialist bailouts for the rich by the poor.
Turmoil that follows trepidation without bailouts.
Mysogeny as in women as mavericks.
Rave you missed one
Precipice – the place we’re all standing now that UFACTIONIONALMP are in govt.
