Wikileak monetising!
Ghastly American phrase – monetising! However Wikileaks have opened an on-line shop in order to harness the great capitalist running dog America’s financial advantages.
They will be pleased to serve you with a Wikileaks cover for the laptop you are leaking to them on, numerous Wikileak t-shirts, but one conspicuous omission.
This patent Wikileak incontinence pad rushed onto the market by an enterprising manufacturer in Pakistan…
It could prove invaluable for those fearing imminent arrest.
h/t to Jon Slattery and also the unknown person who sent me the advert from Pakistan.

Any market for a Wikileaks u-bend sleeve for the gallons of drivel they
published?

Hello Anna!……When, to my grief, you very understandably threw in the towel
some months ago, I sadly removed your name from my Favourites daily
must-reads.
That you’re back again is a joy to me & this time round I
hope you’re refreshed & resolute enough to stay in the kitchen….there are
some very unpleasant people out there, but I don’t have to tell you that.
A
belated welcome back to you & thank you for interesting & provocative
reading….again!

Are the Yanks responsible for monetising? I know they do a lot of it but
I’m not sure the word is their invention. My dictionary suggests it’s a French
loanword that someone in the English speaking world borrowed in the C19th, I’d
guess probably an economist. They can butcher the language over the pond but I
don’t think they deserve the blame for this one, though if the Pakistani
hadn’t come up with the pad I’m sure someone in the US would have.

That’s what makes this blog so good, the wide range of topics. A plea for
better English followed by a papillon! The French dictionary shows that it’s
also slang for a parking ticket for some strange Gallic reason.
