"Prick" -- Makes a change, at least, Poppie.

I myself make it a principle, held for the last 4 years, to avoid that kind of locution, & that kind of abuse, on this forum, because it gets so very tedious, and IMO reflects pejoratively on the inventiveness, and the writing style, of the perpetrator. But such as you, who appear committed to such ways of going on*, and, lamentably IMO, incapable of expressing yourselves without such resort, would do well to vary your epithets and denunciatory terminology , sufficiently at least to enable the rest of us to remain awake whilst otherwise fully appreciating the cogency and effectiveness of the points with which you are so kind as to regale us, rather than bored into a state of unconquerably soporific ennui.
