America
1 America – a country that has leapt from barbarism to decadence without touching civilization. John O'Hara and he was an American.
2 America has progressed from barbarism to decadence without the intervening stage of civilization. George Bernard Shaw
3 America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilisation in between. Oscar Wilde.
Numerous other people have been credited with expressing that sentiment or something similar including Henry James, another American. However, in all probability the phrase originates with Georges Clemenceau when he was President of France.

Viper's Bugloss
Viper’s Bugloss is unusual as it is the name for two entirely different things:
1 A common European plant "Echium Vulgare" also known as Blueweed, which has rough, hairy leaves and the flowers start off pink but turn blue as they mature;
2 A European moth "Hadena Irregularis" which flies from July to August, believed extinct in the UK due to loss of habitat;
So despite sounding a bit sinister, it’s just the name of a couple of nature’s minor oddities.

Squitter
Slang from South West England, a squitter is a thoroughly nasty, smelly, disgusting squirt of liquid or semi-liquid faecal matter. Usually used as a plural, the squitters is an attack of diarrhoea brought on usually by overindulgence in alcoholic refreshment. Using squitter in the singular form means a single squirt of repulsive, stinking, watery shit and by extension a repulsive, stinking, watery shit of a person. In both cases the best thing to do is flush the toilet with plenty of disinfectant.
