<< review queue entry 66433 - submitted by 'vermillon' >> 500P; 28k hits; none of my dicts. -------------------------------- Editor: 1) Re "none of my dicts": Hmm. Maybe it's considered undignified to include such crude expressions in one's dictionary. 2) Example for "where one stands depends on where one sits": "This general pattern was punctuated by several differences of timing and emphasis. For example, Singaporean and European Commission leaders did not budge in their responsibility rhetoric; in contrast, UK policymakers, particularly Chancellor, Alistair Darling, eventually did engage in some acknowledgment of responsibility. What factors might have caused such differences? They are mainly contextual, underlining that there is truth in the cliché that where one stands depends on where one sits." |
