Oh I like both. Thank you WWM and mcem. I will be applying both terms regularly?

Wasn’t too sure what was coming as KAKI is also known as Persimmon!

I love both ‘kakistocracy’ (thank you WWM) and ‘testiculating’ (thank you mcem).
I will try to work both terms into my conversation this evening... ?

When I see Trump/BJ waving their arms around and being totally "bloke-ish" I now apply the novel verb - testiculating!

Well I did have to look it up but it is such an apt word.
I like the definition, government by hamsters.
