Word of the day :- Gammon

A  little dose of irony. In short the word 'gammon' has recently become a popular term on social media to describe middle-aged, right leaning men who won't stop railing against a system they feel is working against them, even though they are ultimately among its greatest beneficaries, They voted for Brexit and tend to support the Conservatives and UKIP. They also seem to be rather nationalistic and into the idea of St George's Day, more than most people, and loathe Islam, habitual rantings about immigration and the scourge of political correctness have caused them to and this really is the key point here to turn so red as to resemble a greasy pan fried  slab of ham shimmering stupidly under a fluorescent  light.
Some would argue  that the use of the word gammon  politically is a rather mild one considering how those insulted by it view the world .It seems safe to say that someone who is referred to as gammon, would not be best pleased, and may find it  very difficult to calm down due to an  increase in their  blood pressure.It should also be noted though that 'gammon'  is not a racial slur, actually gammons  come in all races and sexes, take Katie Hopkins for instance.
It is the latest in a long and (in)glorious line of political insults leading back to Aristphanes, to Nye Bevan that have sparked a thousand angry responses ever since. Annosh Chakelian of The News Stateman traced the first use of "gammon" back  to Times columnist Caitlin Moran, who described former prime minister David Cameron as a "C-3PO made of ham" and a slightly camp gammon robot" Alas , this would not be the last time Mr Cameron would find his name unfavourably connected with a dead pig. One can also traced the coinage even further, noting that Charles Dickens employed it in the pages of Nicholas Nikleby (1839)

All this name calling I guess can get  rather childish though, think i'd best stick to being a snowflake, win my arguments in a more subtle way, otherwise I might find myself beating a hasty retreat from an impeding wall of gammon.
