So, you know the Prime Minister’s real full name right?
Alexander Boris dePfeffel Johnson
Yep, I know, who calls their kid dePfeffel, right?
Not Normal People
That’s who.
Anyway.
Alexander.
Remember that.
So, what is his favourite word to use when he’s giving bad news?
Yep, Alas.
‘Alas, the virus is spreading’
‘Alas, there have been many deaths’
‘Alas, it’s all somebody else’s fault’
That sort of thing
I can’t remember anyone else
using the word as much
in modern times
but it is in the dictionary
Very close in fact
to ‘alarm’
and
‘alimentary canal’
but it’s largely an antique,
and a responsibility avoiding word
It’s like ‘sadly’ but,
he imagines,
more sophisticated
and (upper) classy
So, what we do right,
because he’s a knob
all ruffled hair and
incomprehensible blathering
with wandering but
completely lost metaphors
is we give him a name that’s not
the friendly chummy ‘Boris’
encouraging you to think
he’s someone that’s a bit of a laugh
over a pint in the pub
and you’ll notice I try hard
not to use at all
but the more technically accurate
and short for Alexander
(and he is short)
Al
Al Ass
The PM

Thank you for visiting Scribblans today. Sorry it probably wasn’t very good.
This bit of text here used to be me wittering on and effectively begging you to share the post, but I have decided not to bother with all that for 2021. Most people ignore it anyway.
At least yours know that word and many more. Ours is malnourished in the verbosity department. Happy New Years, my friend.

Only a few days left… not that he can reliably count as high as the number left.
And to you to, hopefully better days soon.

Oh, I have a name for him, alright. Trouble is when I use it in front of my wife she gets cross with me, despite her also loathing the blond shit-gibbon as much as I do.
It’s not a very nice word.

Ah, you see, this is where Al Ass scores, accurate but not so uncouth that it can’t be uttered while in the same room as respectable people.
