I agree with Tony. From now on, when we’re vexed or outdrawn during a hand, rather then relying on the clichéd epithet of “That’s sick”, can we all please utter any one of the following:
1. I have truly been smite by the slings and arrows of misfortune – as well as the harsh and unremitting bite of variance – due to your propensity for chasing a frankly optimistic gut-shot. I shall see you outside with pistols, and I will have pleasure at your demise, you odious vagrant of ill repute.
2. A pox on you, sir. And your kith and kin to boot. Plus, any mates you might have in Las Vegas.
3. What a dull dog am I...
4. Woeful, woeful... I am shrouded in misery and my heart hangs heavy, such as would befit a spurned teenage lovelorn fop.
If anyone’s interested, my word of today is ‘Verisimilitude’. It’s either that, or ‘fenugreek’. I can’t decide.
I think Sarah Champion is amazing and I definitely don't think she could be described as a 'fop'. A fop from what I understand is 'someone overly engrossed in their appearance and incapable of intelligent conversation'. She is a naturally beautiful young woman and is highly intellectual. I am looking forward to another 3-4 hours of Sarah on Sunday and will hope you call her much nicer things than a 'fop'. Best wishes. Shaun the Villa fan in Bham
A punctuation mark which is a sort of cross between a question mark & an exclamation mark. These two typed as one "?!", but only some keyboards have such a facility. And, clearly, not mine.

Love it Mr Flut.
"Pox on you" indeed.
Epic
Actually, I rather liked "fop", as in "lovelorn fop".
I shall call Sarah Champion a fop on Sunday's Show.

Whoops.
A pal of mine's writing (forum Posts) were described today by SPT Rich, elsewhere, as.....
a stream of bon mots, diadems of corruscating brilliance
"interrobang"
