shriek, berate, toddle, eke out, coalition, an unbelievable shrieking into the heart of the night.

"When the PM next berates Jeremy Corbyn over a shabby suit, the Labour leader will be able to reply that, unlike Cameron, he isn’t receiving a taxpayer subsidy for it."


The infamous “Shrieking Girl” at Yale University who now famously berated a professor for not making Yale a “safe space” is from a relatively privileged background and has been frantically moving to delete her online presence, an investigation by The Daily Caller News Foundation reveals.

Agamemnon, the Duke of Wellington and Gen. David Petraeus would all agree, probably, that a critical test of any commander's mettle, and patience, and sanity is having to work with his international partners.
