In which Dame Slap shows her skills as school bully ...

Sooks?

The pond just couldn't let that one slip by.

Many of us have been there before, copping the hurled insult, you know, crybaby, whinger, wimp, coward, wuss, (woose or woos if you will), a gutless wonder, a streak of misery with a yellow strip a mile wide (a kilometre if you will).

The wiki had this example here:

2007, Jan Teagle Kapetas, Lubra Lips, Lubra Lips: Reflections on my Face, Maureen Perkins (editor), Visibly Different: Face, Place and Race in Australia, page 31, 
‘What a sook! Look at her cry!’ 
‘Yeah, look at the Abo cry!’

"Sook" is one of the surest signs of a bully at work …and that's why it turned up in this advice to parents here ...

Sooks! Sissies, pansies, milksop, milquetoast, pantywaist, nervous nelly ,,,

Well,  many of us have been there, one way or another …

Luckily, that site had some advice for those tormented by bullies, and the pond hastily made a bit of it over so readers could catch the drift.

Yes, bullies who call others sooks or weaklings or such like are really only concealing their own deep sense of inadequacy. 

The pond's usual advice is for such folk to find someone they can act out the dynamics of power in a relationship by experimenting with BDSM, but failing that, they can settle for the act of seeing what happens when a Donald-worshipping bully goes about the business of bullying others for News Corp …by celebrating a bullying politician going about the business of bullying ...

Now the triumphalism is to be expected, but there's dangers in responding to it, because the next thing you know, you become a sucker for the sort of pitch they used to have in comics …

And the next thing you know you're forking over cash to try to deal with the bullying …

It's a lot simpler just to see the tricks that bullies get up to …

Of course what's being talked about here is actually the right to go on bullying, you know, like the ability to consign poofters to hell, or abuse women for being witches, and make sure they behave like proper angry Sydney Anglican complimentary women ...and such like …

This style of bullying has been a noble thought experiment by the reptiles and others for decades, and by certain conservative forces for centuries …and they live in dread fear that it might all come to an end.

Of course they blather on about jousting and the contest of ideas and such like, but what they really mean is, "we're the king of the castle, and you lot are just dirty weak sooky rascals."

And confronted by the hate, fear and loathing, there's a temptation to reach out for that panacea …

But it's important to remember this sort of bullying comes from an inherent sense of weakness … which is why soon enough we'll be copping some blather about Western Civilisation, when Dame Slap has done her level best for it by supporting most peculiar forms of WC enlightenment …

Oh and tariffs too …

Yes, all that's best and brightest in Western Civilisation, as brought to you by a consummate bully, con artist and pussy grabber … just Dame Slap's sort of man … no wonder she was a devout wearer of the grandee MAGA cap ...

He's a sook? 

Well she's a bully, in the grand tradition of Dame Slap bullies … but to be fair, she does prove with her words and deeds, the corrosive role of government … the sort of affliction that can wear people down, and soon enough they're shouting at clouds ...

… or perhaps devising plans to respond to climate science …

And so, as is traditional, it's off to a final gobbet from the bullies …

Yes, it's the quiet Australian way.  

Let's play Senate. Let's call out all the crybaby, whinger, wimp, coward, wuss, (woose or woos if you will), gutless wonder, streak of misery with a yellow strip a mile wide (a kilometre if you will), pesky blacks, weird poofters, and anyone different or other, and remind them of the joys of Western Civilisation, as spouted by a dropkick fuckwit with a chip on shoulder a mile wide from the deep north, otherwise known as Queensland … 

But remember, be tolerant, don't take the pond's little outburst as an invitation to bully back, because bullies usually were themselves bullied, and that's how they became such an intolerant bunch of dropkick dickheads ...

Oh it's going to be tough perhaps, but remember if things get a little rough, and the bullying starts to wear you down, you can always ask the panel for help, or perhaps use up your last chance call to phone a friend …
