Athatch: verb. To take a sudden liking to or
interest in Margaret Thatcher. In less common usage, the word can also be used
to describe the situation when one is stapled, glued or surgically sewn to
Margaret Thatcher. The verb usually follows the patterns verbs tend to follow,
unless preceded by the words “liberal” or “labour,” in which case the sentence
loses on its comprehensiveness and should, therefore, not be written at all. The
sentence that should be here instead of this one but is not is a clear example
of that. The word athatch was first
used by the American president Ronald Regan who, upon meeting the British
ambassador in the White House, told him that he had quite recently athatched himself and that he wishes the
best of luck to the British Prime Minister. This was, of course, grammatically
incorrect, as the verb athatch is
used without a pronoun following it.
