Want boh liao? How about the Australian Rock Paper Scissors Championship in August, better known as "scissors, paper, stone!". Got strategy ok, don't play play. Among the most popular moves, the SMH reports, is the avalanche - stone, stone, stone. Hammer the bastard to death lah, I say. Mine was previously paper, stone, paper. Here's the world's official site.

Okay then. Let's play a game of "What the fuck does this mean?". Here are some choice phrases found in journal articles now being studied for the exams:
- "the Damocletian sword of trade sanctions"
- "this approach is Procrustean: it smacks of Cartesian, top-down legal symmetry, wonderful for lawyers and Utopian constructors of 'global governance'"
- and, my favourite, "the stigmata of Capitalism".

Now let's try to use these in daily speech. How about:
"Fuck off, you Procrustean, Cartesian AND Utopian chee bais! I got my Damocletian sword of trade sanctions and I'm not scared to use it!! Chochok you with the stigmata of Capitalism then you know!!"

Or just the word Procrustean: "I'm going to order the crab linguine; I'm Procrustean."

Try it. Damn entertaining. The best attempt gets an air-kiss from me.
