Our Minister of Foreign Affairs used the phrase "ad hominem" in saying Canada "did not conduct diplomacy through ad hominem attacks", and that "ad hominem attacks from the US are not appropriate".

As Plato said:
Wise men speak because they have something to say: Fools speak because they have to say something. :-D

"SAD Sack

from my younger days, an american term, sometime used in ball games..

for the player with the ball, brought down inches from scoring...A sad Sack"

in base ball, an "OUT"
seem to recall either in a newspaper, or a boys' comic..a series of cartoons featuring a chap named "Sad Sack"

Sorry I didn't report back last night. I was looking very picturesque on the sofa, mouth open, bit of dribble, snoring loudly until 2a:m when I dragged myself up to bed.

It was a good experience but, sadly, they can't be a authentic as they would like because proper war-time food doesn't sell so the cakes had to be modern looking and iced.

OH enjoyed his toast and dripping and his Spam sandwich and then forgot to but a pot of dripping for home.
