    Spads.

    A appropriately ugly term. It conjures images of them being cut into long chunks and deep fried in oil. Either that or some archaic, non-PC term for a person with some mental deficiencies

      Spads. An amalgamation of special advisers used in the term of politics and appointments to the House of Lords. The context is everything here. A quick search would have shown you this. If your brain conjures up negative connotations and non-PC termd, that is on you.

      It’s OK to say you do not know.

        Oh, I know full well what a fucking spad is.

        I just fucking hate them collectively, individually and linguistically.
