Interesting unit, Anning
68 year old, grew up as a grazier now owns pubs in QLD, went to Ag College (doubt they prioritised the Holocaust over how to reverse a tractor there) and introduced a private members bill to make it easier for women to get Mace and tasers for self defence.
Pretty much old school country member.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

What made it so self-defeating to use the phrase and no rational actor who understood its meaning would do so
