Banned parliamentary terms

Patricia Greig at NZ Herald has a list of terms ruled unparliamentary over the years. A good read.

My favourite is:

Energy of a tired snail returning home from a funeral

Other good ones are:

• Kind of animal that gnaws holes
• Could go down the Mount Eden sewer and come up cleaner than he went in
• Frustrated warlord
• Financial Frankenstein
• Idle vapourings of a mind diseased
• His brains could revolve inside a peanut shell for a thousand years without touching the sides
