To think we need to stop calling him Boris

He's not a loveable buffoon, there for our entertainment, he's an important man, with an incredibly serious job to do. He's Mr Johnson or the Prime Minister, Boris isn't even his actual name!

I feel like the more we call him Boris the more we excuse/allow the nonsense.

He should be known as BJ

The Mamabem household generally refer to him as BoJo or Chief Berk (latter coined by DD(8)). Me and DH only refer to him by name if we need to distinguish him from the other bastard clusterfucks in his gang

But may borrow Borifice...

Mamabem your DD has an excellent grasp of politics for one so young Smile

I tend to call all politicians, especially prime ministers, by just their surname - so Johnson, May, Blair, etc

Seems like the convention really.

I call him Boris Johnson, I don't like the idea he think himself so notorious that just boris will identify him, or that he is some sort of lovable, buffoonish character that he has perfected.

He really should be taken seriously as our prime minister and addressed by his full name.
Sadly his behaviour and actions (or lack there of ) has made this impossible, so anything goes now.

Boris Johnson for me. His chosen and preferred name

Boris Johnson for me. His chosen and preferred name
but not the one by which his parents address him
Boris is his stage name
he is playing a role
he is not a real person

I call him “our glorious leader“ - said in an ironic way obs.

If he’s using middle names I’m going to start calling him Pfeffel.

Sounds much like what comes out of his mouth a lot of the time.
