   At least it wasn’t rouge. I got sick of all those rouge polls before Christmas. And vet? I had no idea Pete Hodgson was so popular

   “Mysogeny”? Not in my dictionary. I guess it’s a neologism meaning “creation of mystery”

   Con: You’re right. I thought it was a mys rather than a mis. A bit of a rouge word eh!

   Bailout as in socialism for the rich.
   Trepidation as in banks on the precipice waiting for the socialist bailout.
   Rogue as in a solvent bank.
   Bipartisan as in socialist bailouts for the rich by the poor.
   Turmoil that follows trepidation without bailouts.
   Mysogeny as in women as mavericks.
