Needs a new name - yousnoozeyoulose - 21-10-2021
Now that we have a Governor General called Cindy, any suggestions for a fun new name to be used when referring to the PM?
How about "the Prime Minister"?

I find the name calling - from both sides of the spectrum - to be tedious.
I do admit to calling Little Angry Andy a number of years ago but only because he always seemed to be.

I agree with you on the name calling being tedious. The underlying tone is that it is trying to be insulting, and probably started by a National supporter.:-))

I know what I would like to call her but then I would probably get banned.

Agreed. Name calling is childish nonsense - although I did once refer to David Seymour jokingly as 'St David of Seymour' - I just use their names.

I have actually been called a 'slapper'.
In a loving way though.
Of course.

I use their last names, too. I reserve first names to those personally familiar to me.
Honorifics given to those in politics seem to have all but disappeared over the last 15 years or so. Referring to Ms Ardern, Ms Collins, Mr Bridges etc. comes over as more respectful to me.

name calling is childish and immature
im all for it
RE: Needs a new name - Oh_hunnihunni - 21-11-2021
I like honorifics. I really enjoy being a Mrs.
Ms just irritates me.

I've been a Mrs since I got married in 1973, and that won't ever change. I really don't like Ms.

Prime Minister Ardern. Or Jacinda Ardern.
