That’s a “backronym” where the reason is invented after the shortened word. There’s a longer explanation on Wikipedia to do with 17c language - an interesting diversion!
Yeah, her fans will know the whole backstory already, so why it needs another outing in this book is beyond me. And who the duck needs fire starters made from dryer lint? Good hacks or tips are along the lines of: "put a small ramekin of baking soda in your fridge to get rid of odours". Not "keep your rubbish in a jar so you can have more clutter"
Am hoping this doesn't come across as too harsh, but one thing that sticks out from the events of yesterday is that despite it all she was immediately perfectly happy to promote her book, looked absolutely fine on her promotional video, was more than happy to twitter search her name and to promote the same thread again when she wanted a bit more engagement and was, at the end of this long day, trigger finger ready to pick fights with people who disagreed with her outlandish and controversial claims made throughout the next twitter storm/engagement opportunity. Without commenting further, it does seem worth pointing out.

I love reading this. Not to insert myself here
, but when the state of the world depressed and demoralised me in 2016 (the Brexit results and after Trump was elected), getting involved with a community project was the best thing for restoring some faith in humanity. Not that dealing with other people is easy. It's really hard actually and some people are a nightmare to get along with ('the people' are easier to deal with when you are just tweeting in abstract terms). But it was so much better to be invovled in something that mattered to me (I guess it gives some purpose and connection), than to only complain on social media.During the pandemic I have been trying to keep that attitude ('what can I do now?'), though I have to admit I find it increasingly hard

Oooo I do love a good old ‘backronym’ said the vicar to the priest...
*no offence was meant to be caused by my Sunday smut- will delete if so
Morning everyone. Made it through half a series of LLL yesterday. These people really have unrealistic expectations of their budgets don't they?
I know today will be a sensitive day for some and you have all my love.
Feeling very emotional about speaking to my Mum. I just keep thinking about Sarah's Mum. There's this kind of dull heartache hanging over everything this week and I can't quite shake it.

I’ve got screengrabs but honestly don’t know if they should be shared here, it’s really really upsetting stuff. Wish I hadn’t seen it. Just a heads up for any cabal members that... maybe
thread title.... PLEASE!

Cop, Coppa or Copper
The term copper was the original, unshortened word, originally used in Britain to mean "someone who captures". In British English, the term cop is recorded (Shorter Oxford Dictionary) in the sense of 'to capture' from 1704, derived from the Latin capere via the Old French caper.[13] The OED suggests that "copper" is from "cop" in this sense, but adds that the derivation is uncertain. Many imaginative but incorrect stories have come up over the years, including that cop refers to the police uniform's copper buttons, the police man's copper badge, or that it is an abbreviation for "constable on patrol", "constabulary of police", or "chief of police".[14]
Just a thought, why is her 10 year old googling his mum? She could and should use Net Nanny or similar if she's not able to monitor his internet use.
Pretty sure it's another Jack fabrication but I'm happy to be corrected if parents of current and previous pre-teens can confirm this is something they do.

As for cops, I have adopted my partner's 'polis' rather than saying police, and always thought cops was an American thing.
Just looked through my daughters last google searches and they are:
1. skateboards for girls
2. Colditz castle (for school)
3. Our generation dolls
No searches for me. Maybe it’s because she’s only 8 1/2 but can’t believe she’s not searching for my name, I feel unseen.
No, coppers, bill, filth or in polite company police.
Basically she’s a Troll!
oh god her poor mother. It’s unbearably sad.
This
After yesterday and the memories it made resurface, I spent the majority of the day barely able to speak to anyone. Poor husband had to put up with one syllable words from me all day. I know everyone deals with things differently but still..
Oh cabal, the weekend’s activities in the real world, on Twitter and here in our hausfrau universe, leave me feeling dreadful. Absolutely speechless.
The hugest of hugs to all who are upset by the unfolding events, particularly those triggered owing to horrific past experiences of your own. I hope all reading, AND tweeting
, have some accessible real life support.
Love you ninnies

She has broken me to be honest.
She has just threw such a triggering subject out with clear abandon. I get she wants to be heard but I feel like she's trying to take away from what's actually happening.
This lady has lost her life, she didnt get to tell her story to fight back with her fellow women about how men treat women.
She has now told the "world" one of her most intimate and awful secrets. She must feel so naked now in the public eye.
She's is brave for coming forward and I do believe her. I really think she needs her close ones close. I find it so sad that not even Louisa has publicly reached out to her. I get they are low key but what's wrong with a heart emoji or at the very least I'm here for you. It's so desperately sad and she must feel so alone.

There was an Aussie TV show callled Cop Shop back in the 70s.
Not going to comment on her. Just wanted to send my love to whoever needs it today. Really wished I could hug some of you after reading posts yesterday
