Chairlatan Healer

A type of Charismatic christian who carry around fold-able chairs and offer healing.They sit you in the chair and tell you that whatever ailment you have is caused by having "one leg shorter than the other". They duly pray for your leg and behold! It appears to grow. One of the oldest parlour tricks in the book.

Just seen a couple of those Chairlatan healers in the precinct again. Told me I had one leg shorter than the other. So I told him that he had one neuron shorter than the other.

Pulling A Gandhi

A person who steps in between two feuding people for the sole reason of making themselves look like a peacemaker and receiving kudos for their self-righteous effort. By relativizing the claims of each person in the dispute, and standing open armed with a pseudo-serene expression on their face, they naff off everyone in the room, but still think they are the second coming of Gandhi.

It was all sorting itself out until Steve started pulling a Gandhi, and then all hell broke loose.
