In the 1971 case of Arkell v Pressdram,[76] Arkell’s lawyers wrote a letter which concluded: “His attitude to damages will be governed by the nature of your reply.” Private Eye responded: “We acknowledge your letter of 29th April referring to Mr J. Arkell. We note that Mr Arkell’s attitude to damages will be governed by the nature of our reply and would therefore be grateful if you would inform us what his attitude to damages would be, were he to learn that the nature of our reply is as follows: fuck off.”[77] The plaintiff withdrew the threatened lawsuit.[78] The magazine has since used this exchange as a euphemism for a blunt and coarse dismissal, i.e.: “We refer you to the reply given in the case of Arkell v. Pressdram”.[79][80] As with “tired and emotional” this usage has spread beyond the magazine.

For context, from the Wikipedia for private eye magazine

They’ll get good, expensive attorneys to defend themselves and they’ll believe until the last second that that will be enough.

I thought they weren’t making political endorsements anymore…

Then maybe she was trolling back?

I think either way, you dodged a bullet. You don’t have food poisoning or a girlfriend who lies to you, lol.

Pro tip: you’re better off not dating someone who gets rid of their fridge every winter unless you live at mcmurdo. I could see very thoroughly cleaning and unplugging a freezer if you have a lot of space outside (protected from any wildlife) and can rely on it being well under freezing for months, but it’s probably either too cold to work as a fridge or temps will spike to dangerously warm during the day.
