Clacker (from Cloaca) seems like an entirely reasonable assumption to me.
Whereas the etymology of the phrase, β€œwe’re not here to f**k spiders” I have absolutely no idea πŸ€”

Trump taught our children that cheating is OK. Lying is acceptable.,Abusing power is fine. Bullying is allowed. Stealing is not a problem. Your word means nothing. Personal attacks are fine. Double dealing is admirable. Laziness is a desirable quality. Being disrespectful is permissible. Decency and integrity are for losers and suckers.

Thanks Pap, I couldn’t resist this one. It inspired memories of my childhood. We used to hang out at Phil’s pinball parlour after surfing all morning. The owner used to relentlessly put this song on his jukebox, in response to our continuous repeats of Daddy Cool, T Rex, Slade, πŸ₯Ή

This was a big hit in πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί back in the day, when seemingly every electronic device was β€œmade in Japan” It’s cheesy and catchy and I love it

Free drinks for life to the first journalist who (with tears in their eyes) asks him β€œSir, I have seen credible intel that you are a diddler, do you deny it?”

According to all the white nationalist pastors (who β€œblessed the troops” with a co-ordinated message before sending them off to Iran), Trump has been anointed by God to give Armageddon a helping hand. It’s now crazy dangerous!

I wish we could all agree on a classic, and make it stick. Mind you, all you have to ask is β€œisn’t he dead yet?” and everyone knows exactly who you’re talking about.

Thanks for recommending this. Sorrow Tears and Blood, Power Show and International Thief Thief are 3 of my Fela favourites. A sad demise for a genius artist gone too soon.
