Muzzo is shorter as it cuts out a tongue movement. Are you happy with that Bilko Far Quit?

Yes ‘Abo’ is mildly. But don’t look for logic in any of this. We all know that the most outrageous terms can be used as terms of endearment.

Mark's sanctioning of 'Muzzo'. Not being a native, I get a bit confused by Aussie abbreviations, and what is acceptable. Back home, 'paki' is deeply offensive, because it's mostly used in the context of 'paki-bashing', but it's not seen as racist here. If 'Muzzo' is ok, why not 'Abo'? In fact, muzzo doesn't even cut out any syllables. So is the Derro in the Pub happy with that? re. Mark’s sanctioning of ‘Muzzo’.

Wed, 20 Dec 2006 11:06:04 +0000 http://larvatusprodeo.net/2006/12/18/the-hage-ali-affair/#comment-290178 It would seem, to my great relief, that the Premier has decided that Chaytor should be stripped of his Labor Party endorsement while the charges are being heard. He's also said domestic violence is unacceptable in any form. While Chaytor is brave for clinging on to the hope that the party will recognise the principle of innocence until proven guilty, the Star Chamber will apply. Although, I hasten to add, Chaytor was being less than fair by airing his dirty linen and trying to front foot the charge. I for one am applauding the fact that at least the government is being even-handed and consistent in the manner in which it applies its unfairness.

Only to find that he has also crippled that part of the selection process which would have revealed the poor girl's unfortunate habits before putting her under the spotlight. “seems to have planned a sequence of events”
