Cockalorums.....but shouldn't that be three?

cockatoo (plural cockatoos). A bird of the family Cacatuidae
I misread that as 'cackatitude family'.

Bing Crosby sang a song about them.
Apologies, no he didn't. He sang Too-ra-loo-ra-li.

Speech
He or she may:
• speak in a monotone voice and/or with unusual or stilted pronunciation; if
he/she appears to have normal language; this may be masking his/her actual
level of understanding
• repeatedly ask the same question or copy/repeat the last phrase they heard
(this is known as ‘echolalia’)
• not respond to questions or instructions
• communicate non-verbally; many people with autism cannot speak
• become noisy or agitated if required to deviate from regular routine
• speak obsessively about a topic that is of particular interest to them, but
which may have no apparent relevance to the situation.
From here
(More repeats, that's what I say)

Cockalorum means 'a little man with an unduly high opinion of himself', Oganeil. the 'person' who posted after you is that very cockalorum to whom EQ refers.
I disagree with her, of course. He isn't that big.

Naaa Oganeil.
Cockalorum usually is used in a political sense.
There's been a recent flury of activity on the Politics section.
Also, 'cockalorum' was added to one of the 'new word' threads a while back.
It just has a rude sound to it.

Another similar word, and used in the same context is 'popinjay'

There's been a recent influx/expansion of political postings and arguments.

Replied: 22nd Nov 2012 at 15:18
There was a discussion somewhere about the clog back phrase.
I think someone had it confused with as far as a 'clock' back.
Can't find it at mo.
Just mentions of the 'face that'll stand a clogging' one.
