Each week The Staggers will pick a new word to describe our uncharted political and socioeconomic territory.
After a week in which David Cameron resigned as Prime Minister and his successor Theresa May fired his Chancellor, the word of the week is:
Mayssacre (n)
The moment the colleague who never makes small talk gets a promotion and promptly sacks you and the rest of the lads.
Usage:
"Two years after a briefing war, she mayssacred Michael Gove."
"Be careful - you never know when she could mayssacre you."
"Jeremy Corbyn is finally carrying out his mayssacre of the PLP"
Articles to read if you're facing a mayssacre:
