(And writing them kept the immediate future team amused for at least a whole afternoon!) Any definitions you want to add? Email us at info@immediatefuture.co.uk | |

| Fisk | To savage a post, line by line, in a highly critical but often witty and sarcastic way is known as Fisking or to Fisk. The term is named after journalist Robert Fisk, an early recipient of Fisking. We should be thankful he wasn’t called Robertson-Smythe. |
