No, "inverted Churchills" is somewhat closer to the truth.

Completely agree about "mouth-breathing idiots", though I generally hear it in the context of "mouth-breathing Freepers", i.e. those eloquent and rational people who frequent the Free Republic site.

Michael – did these gestures merely extend to fascist ones, then?

John B – ‘mouth-breathing idiots’ is a wonderful expression, which I will now use more often. And anyone who gets annoyed by this new habit will be directed to you.

You've still got a split infinitive up there, John B.

And your comments-box code won't allow me to enter the absurdly long URL of my blog in the "Your web URL" field.

OK, not my most accurate post ever. Apologies to assorted pedagogues.

We haven't worn ties for many years, John. You know that.

Sorry, that’s Brooke, not Bertram – I can’t help you on the latter.

If you want a video of a fourteen-year-old Chris making decidedly impolite gestures (though not Nazi ones, sadly), I’m open to bribes.

"Naziism"?

"partically"? I’m afraid that sort of inattention will incur the displeasure of the pedagogues in question.
