Only problem is that he would probably love the attention.
Let him have this one, ok? He deserves to be the center of attention in that case
If perfectly performed, he could be the center of attention in 5 places all at once.
Bisected, trisected, quartered.. What's a word for cutting something into 5 pieces? 6?
Following the pattern of bisected, which is Latin, 4 through 6 would be quatresected, quinquesected (or cinquesected), and sexected. If you prefer to switch to Greek roots, it's tetrasected, pentasected, and heptasected; 2 with a Greek root would be disected, but that already means something else.
Comparison to quartered is uglier; 2 is obviously halved, but 3, 5, and 6 are harder. My first instinct was 'thirded', but I don't think so. 'halved' ≠ 'seconded', and I can't think of anything that would be to 'thirded' as 'halved' is to 'seconded'
It will be a red mark on his wrist, if that.
Being 'transparent' doesn't absolve you of wrong doing.
Seriously. "It's fine to mug people as long as you do it confidently and in broad daylight!"
How has it taken this long for anyone to act on this obvious walking bag of conflict of interest?
