Keeping abreast of politics!!

The "Fianna Fail" of Singapore are called PAP (People's Action Party), which I thought was a funny acronym for a political party!

My personal definition of pap was something that was rubbish/nonsense/inconsequential, so they are very like Bertie's boys!!!!

I checked the definition of pap in a few online dictionaries and sure enough my definition was correct. So, not the best acronym for a political party in an English speaking country then! What I didn't know was the other definitions for pap:

1. Slang use - money & favours obtained as political patronage (so not great for use by a political party then!)
2. Soft food for babies (again, not the greatest for politics - something digestible by infants)
3. Most entertainingly, a nipple or something shaped like a nipple!! Or as one dictionary poetically put it: "the small projection of a mammary gland"!

So they are a shower of tits out here - Fianna Fail, mark 2 definitely!!!!!!!
