Yeah, OK - public apology to CK. Hoon is a great word and thank you for sharing it with us. It has absolutely the right kind of sound to express the intended contempt. I promise to use it each day this week, and when anyone asks me, I will tell them it is ZILD!
And Jackie, warning me after the event is no use. Warn me beforehand next time, please.
In my defence your honour, I thought that references to resources such as http://www.yourdictionary.com/ and http://www.onelook.com/ might be useful to those who didn't know of them.
I always drive at the posted speed limit (of course that's often 70mph here in UK, plus VAT (US=sales tax), plus tip.
Oh and that's per occupant of course!
Off subject: does NZ have the equivalent of sales tax or Value Added Tax? I know a certain small island somewhere to the West of NZ changed last year to a type of VAT.
