I wanted to try my theory out.
I went up to this sword wielding nutter who lives at the end of my street and abused him, he ran into his house and brought a sword out and started hitting me with it.
So the experiment began, I threw the word amphibian at him, it seemed like a good word because they are supposed to be cold blooded creatures.
But he continued to lash into me, so I brought out the big guns and gave him a...CRAIG DAVIDDDDD CAN I GET A REWINDDDDD...and that saw him off.
So yes the word is indeed mightier than the sword.
And also perhaps the big stick i was hitting him with helped.
