I remember this word... internecine? because there was a 1974 Brit film with James Coburn called the internecine project.
nobody on tv ever says this word. ( i watch everything by the way - proper lazy bass)
but this week i've heard it three times in three days.
By David Lammy in this week
by the sun's editor in paper review in skynews.
someone else i can't remember?
So why is this word suddenly in vogue ?
iinternecine - destructive to both sides in a conflict. - deadly, bloody, violent, fierce, destructive, ruinous.
Is someone giving these pundits a print out to read from?
it's not in common use ?

because both labour and tory are/maybe looking for new leaders and its a good word to describe what's going on in each party.
its often used to describe arguments within a group of people who should be in broad agreement but are arguing amongst themselves. |

The vast majority will get on with day-to-day-living. You seem hysterical. I'm sorry if your ambition to be a leading member of the Labour Party is being ignored. Repeat after me - "no-one cares".

another mention BBC news
is there an app that they use? my phone has a dictionary, maybe it picks a random word and you get points if you use it that day? use 'abrade' today for ten points. |

Probably someone who used it subsequently though, aha, that is a good word, I will use it...subsequently.
|

By:
I have used it for years but it looks as if I have been spelling it incorrectly.

By:
Always thought it was something to do with cousins...

By:
You say it is being used Zorro...in what context?
definition 1.of or involving conflict within a group 2. mutually destructive It has always had this meaning...it is something which is not good. |

It would sum up the Labour party at the moment at the moment sadly.

That is another good word subsequently jack

using it for the current labour situation.
Rupert Murdoch and sun people started it. bad english. George Orwell would spank them for it. Always use a simpler word or phrase if it exists. People who use the word zeitgeist get my goat too. just say spirit of the age. you get 100 arse points for saying zeitgeist. |
