The following is a quote by Terry Pratchett:
You had to admire the way perfectly innocent words were mugged, ravished, stripped of all true meaning and decency and then sent to walk the gutter for Reacher Gilt, although “synergistically” had probably been a whore from the start. No one was sorry for anything because no living creature had done anything wrong; bad things had happened by spontaneous generation in some weird, chilly, geometrical otherworld, and “were to be regretted*”. [*Footnote:Another bastard phrase that’d sell itself to any weasel in a tight corner.]
Now read this and find all the “bastard quotes” in this speech. You can do this with any political speech. I chose this one because it is a current, newsworthy speech, not because I did not support the candidate.
