Ah, wouldn’t it be so exotic if I could say I knew these ladies socially. The answer is a tad more prosaic…there has been a rash (ooo maybe the wrong word to use while discussing this subject) of disciplinarians in the courts lately trying to have their profession legalized. Can’t help but catch your eye.

Could not the same be said for the tools of their profession, if wielded ineptly?

Very apropos to current topic and original thread post...
And the cat-‘o-nine tails kissed him gently like the fangs of a viper.
Now is that a simile? A mixed methaphor?

The Canadian courts rule so bold
How Miss Discipline tenders her hold –
Yet a movement too rash
Means the slash of the lash
Catches eyes, closed in judgmental cold

A simile in currency in Northampton when I lived there, describing someone who was in the throes of indecision, was, "He wore (i.e, was) warnderin' abowt like a faart in a colander, wonderin' which 'ole to drop threw."
