Tue Jul 07, 2026 6:40 am

According to a new survey from global anthroanalysts Boston & Freebaum, 73% of the world's population prefers 'blooming' to most other verbs.

Asked to rank a number of different verbs on a scale of one to ten, a random selection of the world's human population put "fettling" in 10th place. "kettling" in 9th place, "parenting" in 8th, "foisting" somewhere between third and fifth place, and "sandbagging", "filibustering" and "teabagging" between places two and four. "Blooming" was number one on the list.

Given the essential nature of many of these activities, we asked the PM's office to comment.

We have yet to receive any reply.
