Magnificent Bastards!

'The Pixie's Word of the Moment'

Legerdemain (noun)

Definition: Sleight of hand or artful trickery - often associated with magicians and other professional tricksters.

Example: With such artful legerdemain, one would be forgiven for failing to notice the little blue pills and plentiful supply of prophylactics Lord Quimly Warner had been secreting about the ballroom, and indeed about his person, since his guests arrived.  Clearly our aged host intended the night's entertainment to be long lasting and somewhat reminiscent of De Sade's more fanciful soirees.  Happily, the observant Lord Crumbtwat and his ever present man servant, Mr Grumblecunt were able to alert the youthful and chaste Lady Foofington to the coming onslaught of debauchery before her delicate sensibilities were offended or her petticoats ruffled. 

Alas there was no escape from the delights of the most decadent of depravity for the rest of us.


I thank you
