Found this when nosing round wikipedia.

I'm sure my esteemed PH'ers will find an application soon enough!

Thanks for that. Interesting definition. I had not known what 'weasel words' really were other than it was not good to be accused of uttering them to support a weak argument.

Theres plenty of people here using 'weasel words'. Conspicuously absent from Paul Smith's Safespeed vocabulary.

It has been argued that some people on PH use weasel words, some would postulate that weasel words are perfectly acceptable, where appropriate
