NOT SO RUDE AWAKENING FROM MY LITTLE BREAK

There, told you you’d miss your daily Napper fix, didn’t I? Therapy worth its weight in gold, and all I get is a few miserable cents from Google ads. If kind people like you click on a link or two.

Anyway, as I was saying two days before my little break … vicious low-life persons. Or a rather rude word to that effect.

Mrs N is a connoisseur of swear words (see the book of our adventures, When It Comes To The Crunch, at www.huckbooks.co.uk). She knows some beauts, but she’s not too happy about me using the ‘t’ word in the public print.

So I’ve spent at least half of my break trying to come up with sufficiently descriptive words for vicious low-life persons. Well, while I wasn’t eating, drinking, sightseeing, meditating, drowsing, resting with my eyes shut, and occasionally sleeping (it was a busy little break).

There’s vicious low-life tossers, of course, or tosspots. Good standby. Staying with the 't' theme, I think vicious low-life turds is my favourite – except that’s not fair on turds.

You may have noticed my brain is still on holiday time, so while it whirs and splutters into work mode, please let me know if you have any good epithets for the aforementioned vicious low-life persons.

*By the way, did you know that the word tosspot was originally used to describe a habitual drinker. No, that’s not fair on habitual drinkers either, is it?
