U.N. Rebukes Saddam Hussein for "Crawfishing"
(2002-09-07) -- The United Nations today passed a resolution admonishing Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein for "sidestepping, crawfishing and wheedling" out of previous agreements. The global organization also formally recognized that Hussein has been "stiffing the world."
Delegates interviewed after the vote concurred that they don't know what it means to "crawfish", but it sounded good when U.S. President George Bush first said it after a congressional briefing on September 4.
