Examples

“But it tells you all you need⟳ to know⟳ about Burchillian ethics: be beautiful, or be damned.”

“The ecological cause is showered with Burchillian vitriol — 'Green is politics for people who don't like⟳ people' — but the women's quarrel loses force⟳ when it strays on to men, self-oppression and the Third World.”

“'BF' is more ambiguous, with 'Best Friend' unlikely after Susan Douglas has read⟳ through the antics of the heroine Susan Street. Perhaps 'F' is for something more typically Burchillian. Nothing, however, can explain⟳ why Random House paid Burchill £175,000 for the UK hardback rights to two novels, this being the first offering.”
