It seems one can get away with saying anything if it is followed up with the word “snark”, many times in parentheses.

The blog of which I speak is a liberal blog called “Dailykos”

I grew up with “pease porridge” rhyme.

‘Fossicking’ sounds vaguely obscene.

LOL

I learned that rhyme in kindergarden, and we said “pease porridge”

But then, who am I to say whether it is or not, I’m a foreigner :)
I can’t stop laughing!
