Political vocabulary

[lardy]

As a lover of words the epithet 'Blukip' came to my attention for the first time yesterday.

And I had never heard of the word 'recuse' until Trump came to power. The same goes for POTUS and FLOTUS when Obama was in the Whitehouse.

Are there other terms that are new (or relatively new) to you in the political sphere?

Frit.

Frit.

Maggie Thatcher first used that. Skinner repeated it recently, but the Tories love repeating Maggie Vocabulary.

[RonnieBird]

Frit.

Actually, the word "frit" is in common usage where I live and always has been. I remember years ago an old lady told me she was frit about some illness and I didn't know what she was talking about.

[Taunton Blue Genie]

Frit.

As used by Thatcher and recycled by Boris.

Edit: just noticed that someone got in before me!
