http://www.urbandictionary.com/defin...Spit+the+Dummy

Australian Term: To indulge in a sudden display of anger or frustration; to lose one’s temper. The phrase is usually used of an adult, and the implication is that the outburst is childish, like a baby spitting out its dummy in a tantrum and refusing to be pacified. (Dummy is a pacifier)

Snork... so it's kinda spitting the dummy to accuse somebody of spitting the dummy...

So I'm confused as to who is spitting the dummy. RM or other people?

But I have noticed a disturbing tendency lately for any topic that's over 2 pages lately to degenerate into crankiness or to be shut down by a couple cranky people that can't take threads with the lightness they were intended to have. There seems to be an inability to debate or discuss something without crankiness or posturing. And that's pretty sad.

What a great sentence. I think that's my new favorite sentence.

However, I have the same question -- who is spitting the dummy?

I volunteer to spit the dummy for now, till we figure out who else has been spitting up dummies.

Is dummy a word most Americans know for a pacifier? This came up when watching the Tour one day, when Phil used the term. My family uses it, but Mum was Canadian and that is where it came from for us. My sister commented that she didn't think it was a word most Americans would know as a pacifier. But I wasn't sure. Just curious.

Excellent! I'm going for a ride in 96 percent humidity and weekday traffic, so I'll probably be in a mood to spit dummies when I get back.

I wish a few people would use them (dummies) on the badly behaved kids in WalMart. Buying unsafe bikes. With parents in stretch pants.
