The many names of Iain Duncan Smith

Iain-Duncan-Smith-during-the-Bedroom-tax-debate

Long-term readers will be aware that This Blog enjoys giving new nicknames to Iain Duncan Smith, including the current favourite, ‘Gentleman Ranker’ (indicating a soldier from the upper classes who has not managed to gain a commission; a failure).

Others have been based on acronyms, including RTU (Return To Unit) and SNLR (Services No Longer Required).

Today (Tuesday) in a comment, Martin Odoni has provided more, which This Writer feels duty-bound to share with you all. He writes:

“Other possible short-names for Iain Duncan-Smith; –

LMAYQASM – Leave Me Alone, Your Questions Are Scaring Me
UWTTOBETOS – Underpants Wetter Than The Ouse, Brainpan Emptier Than Outer Space
YANSM – Your Aloof Neighbourhood Spineless Man
CVFNNL – CV From Never-Never Land
WASWHAS – Worships A Socialist While Hating All Socialists
IKYFYOGYK – I’m Killing You For Your Own Good You Know
TRMIFTW – Thinks Ramsay MacDonald Is Fit-To-Work

CVFNNL is particularly appropriate, yet he is determined to dictate to others how they should write theirs.

    IWHSOMB I work hard sitting on my bum.

        … but not for me because I have to make it nice for an all-ages and sensibilities readership.

      And IDS is not Iain Duncan Smith but the more illuminating-“In Denial-Sociopath”

    I suffer from keyboard dyslexia and sometimes in private writing unfortunately write Smith with the m omitted and the h in its place; it’s very odd and I just don’t understand why I do it. Also in private I sometimes suffer from word dyslexia and instead of saying “Smith” I say the same word that my spelling dyslexia sometimes creates. Most peculiar, but it does seem rather apt! Luckily I refrain from making these mistakes on other peoples’ sites or where it might offend!

        Point taken, Mike. “Music be the food of love”.
        He is more the enema than the food.

    The names I call him aren’t printable but are Anglo-Saxon expletives in fairly common everyday usage by Truck-Drivers worldwide! Though my favourite of the moment is Bunkum Smiff, or Drunken Smiff, or simply put a total waste of anything useful and when he was hatched out on the toilet wall by the sun his spawners threw away the best bit of him!
    Just seeing his face makes me want to first punch it then throw up!
    I’ll probably get moderated out but who cares? The Tories don’t!

    1. Chris Tandy

      Names for him such as ‘Dumped-and Sniffed’, or ‘Dung-can S***tt’ really do slide off the tongue…..

  5. Mr.Angry

    Spineless b*****d friends with the devil if he isn’t the devil himself, I have worked with defendants and criminals for years, IDS tops the lot, my god I hope he gets his comeuppance.

    Mike worried for you a gap in your blogs, glad you are back on line until Gove the gnome gets his way.

  6. Michael Broadhurst

    not fit for purpose applies to all of this murdering scum of a government.

  7. Dave Lyne

    I just want to know what information he has on persons currently in power that he uses to get this position beyond his ability, qualifications or experience. Mind you, that could be said for half the Tory Party, Cabinet Ministers and MP’s. I’m not sure if I have super-human powers but does anyone else see the slime trail he leaves?

      In all likelihood, he is regarded as a useful idiot by the gilded cadre of toffs who are temporarily running the show. When the edifice of tyranny eventually begins to crumble, guess who will take the blame…

    May I suggest another old forces one….

    LMF

    Lacking Moral Fibre

    Generally found in the service notes of someone who’s been given an dishonourable discharge, or didn’t make the cut in the first place.

    IDS in our house hold stands for Idiotic Dopy S***E (or this could be S**T if you prefer). Just rearrange the letters HSTIE or HTIS.

  10. NMac

    A bit long-winded, but “The Thoroughly Dishonest Embezzler” fits him perfectly and is a permanent reminder of what is colloquially called, “The Betsygate Affair”, when he obtained public money by deception.

    Now, apropos of nothing in particular, it has always struck m, that the name ‘ Ian Duncan Smith ‘ has a aroused feelings of curiosity in my mind.

    I mean, there is something about it that doesn’t seem right-it seems to have about it the aura of grandiloquence.

    It strikes me as being the kind of name that an oik with a name something like ‘ Scroggins minimus’, who attended some third-rate prep’ school that wasn’t even ISIS registered, might well choose to hide his past.
    A bit like John Major ( the PM who ran away from the circus )omitting the Balls of his proper name of John Major-Balls.

      1. maxwell1957

        No, the ‘ Scroggins minimus’ epithet was used in a satirical manner to typify the snobbery of the private school system.

        I speak from experience. I attended one for a couple of terms. It wasn’t because my parents could afford to send to such an establishment.

        It was rather that the State system couldn’t provide schooling that matched my very particular needs.

        It turned out that neither could the private sector, but that is another story that has nothing to do with the subject being discussed.

        I only survived boarding school life for as long as i did mainly because ( I would like to believe ) that they didn’t take too kindly to me quoting the thoughts of Mao Tse-tung at the most inappropriate times, such as in lessons on British Constitution.
        I also had a tendency to rile the prefects somewhat…especially an Iranian whose father/uncle ( can’t remember which ) was supposedly the Prime Minister to the Shah of Persia. My exit from that school was something like the rebellion in the Lindsay Anderson film ” If….” only without the firearms, grenades and deaths. I used a fire extinguisher to ‘ cool the ardour’ of some of the prefects.

        Disagree Mike, George Smith has a ring about it, an all round good bloke, a working class hero if you like, knew a George Smith years ago he was a fellow Shop Steward, a decent fella and an animal lover so he can’t be all bad, a million miles from this particular Smiff who probably spent his youth and possibly still does, torturing small furries?
        Wikipedia says he went to Sandhurst and rose to the dizzying heights of Lieutenant, but the rest of his education looks a little suspect and certainly miles away from the Posh Boys, Eton and the Bullingdon Club, no wonder IDS is not well liked, certainly with that crowd, not one of us! But as somebody has stated he’ll fit the bill for taking the fall when the whole sorry edifice crumbles about their ears.
