This appears to be the winner of the Abused Word award this week. What on earth do you mean by it, Mr Cameron?

Congratulations on your safe return from your recent descent into the abyss.

James, not David. David can completely mess up any time he feels inclined for all I care. James deserves applause whenever he's mentioned.

"

I am assuming that you refer to Cameron's safe return from his trip to the USA and meeting with the Obama's.

If I am wrong and you are not Insulting America again, then pray tell us otherwise.

As for your complaint, perhaps showing the context In which the word was used may be more beneficial to readers here.

As It is, It's nothing more than ambiguous nonsense.

What a dildo.

Have a guess what "James, not David" meant, eh?

I don't care enough to spend precious time wondering.

It's more your Insult to America that concerns me.

Does nobody follow the news?

Hollywood director James Cameron has returned to the surface after plunging nearly 11km (seven miles) down to the deepest place in the ocean, the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific. He made the solo descent in a submarine called "Deepsea Challenger", taking over two hours to reach the bottom. He spent more than three hours exploring the ocean floor, before a speedy ascent back to the surface.

[...] The tiny compartment that the filmmaker sits in is made from thick steel, which is able to resist the 1,000 atmospheres of pressure he will experience at full ocean depth. The rest of the vertical column is made from a material called syntactic foam - a solid made mostly of hollow "microballoons" - giving it enough buoyancy to float back up.

Why you insist on being such an unmitigated prat I can't imagine.

I note, in passing, that James Cameron is American while David isn't. As usual you're completely adrift in your normal dark haze.

Is that rhetorical ?

Shouldn't the question be,

"Can anyone work out my cryptic clues to this news item that caught my eye ?"

Amazing that more people have walked on the moon than have visited such a depth

The story wasn't my focus, I was mainly concerned with James Cameron's abuse of the word "Syntactic". I still don't know what obscure channel he's taken to reach that usage.

Once I'd put my question I threw in a belated congratulation.

After I'd done that, I clarified which Cameron I'd spoken about since it occurred to me that people might not know the background and I'd hate to be caught congratulating Mister Plastic.

The only Pratt here Is you.

When the OP of a thread Is :

As Bruv said

" Can anyone work out my cryptic clues to this news item that caught my eye

Don't come at me when you have set yourself up for prat of the year award.

If you were not so full of your own self Importance, you may have opened the thread a little more Informative.

It may surprise you Spot, but most people Including members here, do not want to waste precious time through their search engines just to find out what you are blithering on about. Forums are Intended for Information and debate not guessing?

Maybe you deliberately set your post so that members would think of our Prime Minister In an attempt to Incite some reaction and spice up your dreary existence.

Syntactic Foam

I don't really care to be honest.

It is a device for naming something new, as long as everybody knows what it is and doesn't use polystyrene foam instead the mission should be successful.
