What was Jolisa’s phrase again?
Er, which? There was a line in my ahem, favourite Abba song, cough, that I could have sworn went "Beware suddy skies" -- and for years I assumed that "suddy" was an obscure Swedish meteorological term, perhaps indicating the threat of snow.
Turned out it was just "He wears a disguise". Much less evocative.

I’m seeing a nice Dr. Seussian dichotomy between the hat-twat twatcockers and hot-twat twatcockers. I imagine we’ll discover in the end that our twatcocks are all the same underneath.
Is there a Dr Haywood in the house? Call for a children's book author, stat.

I cannot take credit for the word’s coining, I believe that honour goes to the wondrous- with-words, Jolisa.
Good lord, no (you may be confusing me with my famously foul-mouthed little brother). In fact, kudos must go to the very naughty Tom Beard.

I’m thinking outside the square
And not making a hash of it, either. I like your thinking. Punctuation of the Year?

Oh dear, a vajazzled and spatchcocked twatcock? The mind revolts.
"Aftershock" is a really strong contender, not least because at some level Pike River could also be said to be one. For an island (and a country) that has been so badly shaken this year.

One small sentence for [a] (wo)man, one giant ‘leap’ for (wo)mankind #toomanymeanings!
Also, possibly the vilest sentence my fingers have ever typed. The mental picture is deeply troubling, although sparkly. #glamrocktwatcock

Hoverbus? Or even better, aerial cablecar? Run it all the way to MoTaT!

Arguably, a twatcock comes pre-vajazzled.
