Used to try that one early 80s. Should have known the word anyway but me and my mate whose paper it was on lunch break picked up the word "despot". Apologies to other Daves but one of the bosses names was Dave (Who wasn't really that bad) and we decided "Despot Dave" had a certain ring to it.

Moved up to the Sun when I was on the line at Hotpoint, again, someone else's paper...
