Dadtacker

Dadtacker: noun. Somebody who blames all of their character flaws on their father. A study conducted by the University of North Dakota found that globally there were significantly more dadtackers than momtackers. The conclusion they drew from this is that men are significantly less likely to take the blame for something, rather than holding themselves accountable. This is completely understandable as men are misogynistic philistines.

Fragment XVIII

Once everyone was up against each other leaning onto one of the walls of the box, it once again shook violently and then returned to an upright position.

"Would anyone care to explain that?" uttered Ms Bingley in a voice that was filled with an unearthly amount of annoyance.
"I'm afraid the only way to find out if something is happening outside, is to open the doors and peer into the void. I assure you it's perfectly safe to open the doors, no one is in danger. Unless, that is, there is something utterly awful and horrifying out there. I can't ensure that." suggested Babbage.

"Mr Collins!"
"Yes, Lady Catherine?"
"Open the doors."
"Yes, Lady Catherine."

Very reluctantly Mr Collins approached the doors. This astonished his wife, because his cautious approach proved that he did have an sense of self-preservation, contrary to what his wife believed. Mr Collins had reached the wooden doors and carefully pushed against them, so that they slowly opened with a creak. A strong light filled the box, presumably coming directly from the sun. Mr Collins looked out through the light, gasped and fainted.
