Surely you must agree my usage of that word  was elegant, accurate and appropriate to the context.

This stuff should be banned alongside the unnameable on this site.

I have sat through Harry Potter movies with smelly and disgusting chidlers . An altogether nauseating experience!

Sorry move her out, fill in the lake, remove the bats and we have the best facility in Australia. 

We may have to go over her head...she seems to like the trappings of power. Last year she delayed a flight because passengers weren't allowed to board before her ladyship..she had got lost making her way from the freebies in the chairman's lounge to the gate. True .

But I think Charles is gettable if we give Camilla the number 1 ticket.

uncle bitters is demonland's version of w.c.fields. a raffish, drunken cad with a swaggering machismo and an abiding hatred of children.

See, when we treat each other respectfully, we get somewhere.

Good to see we are all getting along so well now.

You can’t use the word “termagant” on a children friendly format like Demonland. Find another word for it.

I think these days we just call them “Karen”

I'm surprised that posters were unfamiliar with the words termagant and harridan. They were in common usage in 19th century writing and before. 

The Victorian and part of the Edwardian eras must have been wonderful times. 

In moments of bliss, I imagine myself as a  disgustingly rich mill or factory owner, abusing my power in the most dissolute ways.

Arrh what might have been!

i always imagined you as an edwardian headmaster wandering the corridors of academia, resplendent in your mortar and gown, with pipe in mouth, twirling your ivory-tipped bamboo cane, whilst hunting down all the billie bunters for some ..er corrective stimulation

While we're imagining BBO's persona, it would be very Victorian/Edwardian to also imagine for him a nemesis, Moriarty-like, and who of the Demonland cohort might suit the role. And, BBO, who would be your Doctor John Watson?

May not affect me as much as previously might have, as my latest diet doesn’t recommend Banana smoothies.
