inspired by forty-rod whiskey

"Quebec legislature bans word 'weathervane'"
Speaker says its hurtful and a slur after Charest called Dumont a weathervane one too many times

back story: charest refered to dumont as a weathervane in regards to the latter's penchant for always changing directions...

this just makes me snicker... remember that episode of friends where ross & monica reveal their secret childhood way of swearing at eachother in front of their parents using odd gestures? or the episode of disney's recess where TJ & friends almost get expelled for using the word "whomps"? now the kiddies in the quebec legislature will have to come up with their own code in order to sneakily insult eachother! this infantile!

checkout some more choice words considered "unparliamentary language" in the parliament of canada:
  • a bag of wind
  • inspired by forty-rod whiskey
  • blatherskite
  • a trained seal
  • fuddle duddle
  • sleaze bag
  • scuzzball
