Pr00ne,
just as well then, that you are not now in a profession where accurate use of vocabulary is important. "Quosh" versus Pardon.
When the double jeopardy law was dropped in 2005, an 800 year old law which prevented being prosecuted twice for the same offence, the intent was to allow one more trial only if new and compelling evidence is produced. Not the eight attempts now being made against a major who has been cleared on each occasion.

Perhaps your use of the word "quosh" may have been deliberate as that is defined in the urban dictionary as "When something goes crazy,or is rabid, and attacks you". I would imagine that is exactly what the major feels is happening to him.

I would prefer the PM to quash any further investigations.
