Who knew?
Hmm, well yes, I looked, but didn't find it. Must have been a cursor look. :|

Second from the bottom in the 'may also refer to' section.
Wikipedia is usually my first stop for TLA definitions these days.

I meant at the time I looked several months ago. I did find it when I followed the link on your posting. I’m having difficulty reconciling your low impression of my mental acuity. Ok, so I can be a bit thick at times, but heh!
ETA: That was meant to be self-depricating humour. FWIW.

Just a mild tease....I work with a lot of people who seem to expect info to be handed to them on a plate. 'Have you tried googling it' sometimes produces a blank stare.

Garth George's column today so entirely generic and predictable I'm not even going to dignify this sentence with a full stop

Well we will be needing a new Prime Minister, perhaps he has more respect for women. Is he HOT?

SCENE: INT. OVERLOOK HOTEL DINING ROOM - DAY
Garth George sits in front of his typewriter at a table, furiously stabbing at the keys with a weird and disturbing smile on his face. A half-eaten Georgie Pie sits on a plate to one side. The large room is otherwise empty and deserted.
The camera pans slowly round to reveal what is on the sheet in the typewriter, and also on all the other sheets neatly stacked to one side.
"National policies spell only good news. National policies spell only good news. National policies spell only good news. National policies spell only good news. National policies spell only good news. National policies spell only good news. National policies spell only good news."

Oh Look here's our Prime Minister mincing down the catwalk

Liz H have you seen this? -

My word, our Prime Minister is all class!

Islander, in reply to
2 redundant letters - he has no innate sense of dignity, which is par for the course of a a very rich populist entirely lacking in any sense of social responsibility.

Wow, Andin, that was, like, totally gay and a little bit spastic…
One great thing about having a male Prime Minister and Opposition Leader again is you can say all kinds of offensive bullshit about political leaders without being called a bigoted twatcock. Yay!
-
Craig R – whichever way your political spectrum sways, John Key is increasingly an embarassment. He is a very rich man, not born into that state or, indeed, any leadership role, who has no idea of how to behave on even our tiny world stage-
forget twatcock. Think fuckwit.

You know something, I’m going to be avoiding political threads here (and pretty much everywhere else) for the rest of the year because there’s nothing to constructively engage with. Yeah, I get the political ecology around these parts and know my niche. I honestly don’t want to spend another electoral cycle being pissed off and toxic, we’re just going to have to agree to disagree and I’ll move on. Got a week of missed deadlines to catch up on and get next week's posts drafted and try to gets some folks to return my calls.

Clearly you never saw that video of some top Labour ministers breaking down on the dance floor.
John Key does a wee fashion turn with RWC uniform? That's what makes him an embarassment? We really are reaching aren't we, weren't the asset sales enough?
-
Islander, in reply to
Nah, not reaching at all Kyle Matthews - it was a sad-arse attempt to appeal to the rugby crew - who may not even have read/heard/seen anything about the asset sales stuff.
And, no, I havent seen *that video* and what the fuck relevance does it have to this
conversation? -
Dignity may be a rare commodity amongst our politicians, but that needn't stop us doing better around here.

You know something, it obviously is to Islander and she’s perfectly entitled to her opinion. I do hope, however, Andin will have a good hard think about what kind of hound is being whistled for by this:
Oh Look here’s our Prime Minister mincing down the catwalk
Here’s a useful self-moderating flip test: If you’re about to post a comment like that, change the name to an equivalent on the left and imagine it bobbing along in the Kiwibog. If it would offend you there, why bring it here?

andin, in reply to
I was just describing his walking style Craig.
Looked like mincing to me. How about strut, sound nicer to you does it?
So how I cant say use mincing in any other way that to describe the mashing of meat? Cause of the myriad of interpretations it may trigger in all minds?
And if a Labour PM Minced like that I would call it mincing.
FCS get off that partisan horse and grow up.
Self moderating you should try it.
And whats with bringing up Kiwilog?
Trying to say something? come on spit it out. -
I think Craig's implying that you're basically saying Key looked "a bit gay, and not in a good way".
Nah, not reaching at all Kyle Matthews – it was a sad-arse attempt to appeal to the rugby crew – who may not even have read/heard/seen anything about the asset sales stuff.
We're hosting the RWC here this year, and we're not expecting the PM to do some mindless media opportunities on the bandwagon?
On the list of things that I don't like about Key, the fact that he's sometimes domestically a bit dorky doesn't even make the list. I was quite glad to see him make that appearance with a couple of drag queens a few years ago. Model the RWC uniforms? Good on you.
It's part of his character as our PM, and I think most NZers quite like it, and I don't see it doing any harm. He's been about as up front as you can be with asset sales, he's even given NZers an opportunity to say no by putting it after election. There isn't exactly any "these aren't the droids you're looking for" going on via RWC appearances.
