Like kids now referring to kids in their class as, say, Sara S. and Sarah L.

Sara and Sarah are pronounced differently though, why not just call them by their names.

I knew a Charlie Brown. Before he worked at the Paramount he worked at the W hotel as a front desk clerk. Kid came up to him, probably the hundredth to do so, and asked him how snoopy was. He told the kid Snoopy had to be put down years ago. Apparently the kid didn't stop crying til they made it to their hotel room. Charlie, actually Bruce Charles Brown died a few years back. I still tell that damned story whenever I can. Man, I miss him.


Oh, at the same job, there's a volunteer, Richard Head.

Was it a requirement on that job to have a terrible name?

He should have said he thought he was gay and used the gay panic defense which is still in place in parts of Australia.

Haha, I had a mate who said he'd come sheer it but they needed someone to get there faster than couple of days. Being that sheeplike is a bit too much even for sheep and they can die.

what is a spill in this context

In Australia you don't vote for your PM, you vote for a representative in your area. The party that is able to get enough seats to hold the votes is the one that forms government. Quite often this involves dealing with 3rd parties (or cross benchers). The party that forms government elects a leader internally who becomes PM.

Internal machinations of late have meant that we're now on our 5th prime minister in 5 years. Kevin Rudd was well liked by the people but loathed internally, Julia Gillard was slaughtered in the press because Rupert Murdoch has a boner for right wing men rather than capable women and so she got replaced before an election with Kevin Rudd again but too late.

Then we got the onion eater (Tony Abbott, look it up. Raw onion, skin and all) who, will not loving a dead pig yet, managed to let his own hard right ideology get in the way of looking like an idiot 24 / 7. For 2 years he promised great things and spectacularly managed to choose the thing that most Australians find abhorrent, daft, pointless, damaging or all of the above. Abbott survived one spill 6 odd months ago ~60/40 to literally no one. 40 people in his own team would rather have had no one in charge (not quite how it works but still) than have him.

After making himself look worse at every step the hard right in the party decided they'd make the socially liberal, fiscally conservative guy eat a bunch of crow on everything he stood for and most of what the people liked him for they knifed the onion eater and put Turnbull in charge.

tl:dr The spill in this case is when there is a contest for leadership in the party that controls the government at that point in time, which happens to get us a new prime minister fairly frequently these days.
