oh hell sorry mr clift,on reflection to the reactions of the other post,i think ive started something.

nah - i think he'll like it!

True. Everyone likes a good clitism now and then...

ok guys i'm sorry to have to correct you all. its the lecture in me!
adam was talking about a clifticism so therefore it would have to be a cliticism. unless you want it to be a clifty cliticism!

or even the lecturer! gee, i'm good - correcting you all then getting it wrong myself!

I go away for a while and come back to find there's a discussion about my made up word! Fair play though as it is a good word...when spelt correctly! Anyway rumour has it that the Oxford English Dictionary may be looking to include it in their next edition!

Ha ha, no need to go cliticising (er, CRITICISING) yourself over it!

this one could run forever adam! eg. some may say you are clitical about your team mates during matches

does that make you a cunning linguist mr clift? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok, enough lowering the tone. i'm off to rebuild my reputation!

Er, RE-build?? Let's be serious Jo ;-)
Mr Clift may or may not be a cunning linguist, but he is surely a master debater.

now now gerbil. dont be mean to me!
hmm. me thinks he is a little quiet on the subject - does he have a comment?

Wasn't about s couldn't comment last night but i'm back and i must say that i'm rather surprised to hear Gerbil describe me as a master debater...especially considering what he told me on Thursday night! (the joy of having information on members of your team to use as blackmail if needed!). Anyway Mrs McGuire, i can confirm that you're not the first woman to suggest that i'm a cunning linguist...and you won't be the last!?! (i'm more cunning than a fox who's got a degree in cunningness!?!). Anyway im slightly digressing from the topic so i'll stop!
