P.G. Wodehouse in The Code of the Woosters, 1937—

“Roderick Spode is the founder and head of the Saviours of Britain, a
Fascist organization better known as the Black Shorts.” [Mosley’s
organisation was the British Union of Fascists, commonly known as the
Black Shirts.]

“The moment I had set eyes on Spode, if you remember, I had said to
myself ‘What ho! A Dictator!’ and a Dictator he had proved to be. I
couldn’t have made a better shot, if I had been one of those
detectives who see a chap walking along the street and deduce that he
is a retired manufacturer of poppet valves named Robinson with
rheumatism in one arm, living in Clapham.
‘Well, I’m dashed! I thought he was something of that sort. That
chin … Those eyes… And, for the matter of that, that moustache. By the
way, when you say “shorts”, you mean “shirts”, of course.’
‘No. By the time Spode formed his association, there were no
shirts left. He and his adherents wear black shorts.’
‘Footer bags, you mean?’
‘Yes.’
‘How perfectly foul.’
‘Yes.’
‘Bare knees?’
‘Bare knees.’
‘Golly!’
‘Yes.’ [Chapter 3]


****
“He was, as I had already been able to perceive, a breath-taking cove.
About seven feet in height, and swathed in a plaid ulster which made
him look about six feet across, he caught the eye and arrested it. It
was as if Nature had intended to make a gorilla, and had changed its
mind at the last moment.

““But it wasn't merely the sheer expanse of the bird that impressed.
Close to, what you noticed more was his face, which was square and
powerful and slightly moustached towards the centre. His gaze was keen
and piercing. I don't know if you have even seen those pictures in the
papers of Dictators with tilted chins and blazing eyes, inflaming the
populace with fiery words on the occasion of the opening of a skittle
alley, but that was what he reminded me of.” [Chapter 1]

****
“The trouble with you, Spode, is that just because you have succeeded
in inducing a handful of half-wits to disfigure the London scene by
going about in black shorts, you think you're someone. You hear them
shouting "Heil, Spode!" and you imagine it is the Voice of the People.
That is where you make your bloomer. What the Voice of the People is
saying is: "Look at that frightful ass Spode swanking about in footer
bags! Did you ever in your puff see such a perfect perisher?" ”
[Chapter 7]

How sweet. Abelard read a book (or more probably, a few paragraphs from
it because they were on the internet) and now he's telling us about it
so that we can read it too.

Abelard has become irrelevant but still strives to get noticed by making
foolish comments.

His babblings are mainly gibberish.

She waxes it. Bleaching wasn't as effective and her skin reacted badly to it.
