# "He shot me, that's fascist"
Edit: I should probably have included some indication that I actually know that Orwell hated the dilution of the word "fascist" and wrote about it.

These days I've got a knackered fishing hat and a yo-yo on a chain. Even rats give me a wide berth.

She got one half, and her lawyer got the other.
