And as a miserable imperialistic hegemon (or is that haegemon) I'm going to insist on dropping the silent "hay." Take that, you limey fequalith. But I’m not over there; I’m over here.

I imagine it as a sort of towering edifice of shite.

I'm not sure where to go with that imagery. Kind of reminds me of <i>cock blanket</i>, which is in such common use now (well, amongst me and a couple of mates) that I often forget I made it up.. (A bus pulled out on me as I was overtaking, and the bus driver had the dubious of honour of becoming, courtesy of my profane bellowing, the world's first official "...fucking cock blanket") I think that spunk-knuckle and cock-blanket are both terms where the two individual words make no sense when combined - but they just sound right. They make beautiful music together. Poetry of the profane, if you will. spunk-knuckle?!
