Canadian penny

A member of the Canadian federal public service who is due to be cut, just like the one-cent piece.

Blogger one: 'Did you hear they're cutting the Canadian penny?'

Blogger two: 'Yeah, just like noone will miss them, noone will miss low-level workers in the public service.'

Blogger one: 'Yeah, Lewinsky and Tripp were 'peons,' but people noticed them, so I guess that's the difference between a 'peon' and a 'penny.'

Blogger two: 'They also had a stained-dress, though.'
