Cheers Billy 8-{) :confused: Otherwise known as "How to kill your party vote in the nick of time!" |

| 388678 | 2005-09-17 00:23:00 | a slightly different slant eh BillyT :2cents: True, for any rare or unusual word you are likely to find variations in meaning, from slight variations to direct contradiction . I usually check several sources and choose the most commonly accepted; unless, of course, the meaning I choose to use is particularly approriate for a topical issue . Not so in this case though, it is just a general interest usage bearing in mind the election . WFTWE is for entertainment rather than edjumacation . :D Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 388679 | 2005-09-17 04:22:00 | We could break it down and come up with a meaning (perhaps linguistically invalid, but tempting) . hypo --> used in film processing, "fixing" bulia --> "bull" . Fits in the political field, doesn't it? |
