| 281478 | 2004-10-16 00:31:00 | > What does white ant mean? Is that a serious question Ted? To "white-ant" is to covertly eat away at and undermine authority etc. In other words to act treacherously. |

| 281479 | 2004-10-16 00:31:00 | Eat away at, or undermine Ted, as termites eat away foundations. Goes along with "damning with faint praise", and such expressions as "he's really great at some parts of the job" leaving the direct criticism unsaid. There are many other examples, no doubt a few more will be added to this post. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 281481 | 2004-10-16 01:35:00 | Murray, We had another name for such, had to do with colour and stomachs, I could not find the topic word in my dictionary. If used in a reference would it not possibly offed employment lawyers. D. |

| 281482 | 2004-10-16 10:12:00 | Ummm...... I wouldn't recommend using such a word in a reference. The law is such today that you are safer not giving a reference at all. |
