I love new words. Here is a great one!
"quango" (quasi-autonomous non-governmental agency)
I saw it in a column concerning the propane blast in Toronto.
Strange new protocols have arisen to deal with the murky circumstances, such as the habit of officials at public meetings to automatically look sideways, to the representative of some other government, agency or "quango" (quasi-autonomous non-governmental agency) when challenged by a fair question from a shaken citizen at a public meeting.
I think we should call all human rights commissions, "quangos"!
